Goodnight Again

   Raspberries she said
and turned her head
the bullet missed a mile
That's what i like for breakfast
she added with a smile.

 The turret turned another inch
and locked on target tight
she draped her scarf around her 
throat
and bade a sweet goodnight

Tall and straight she turned t o 
go
across the pallisade
The whistle of the ammo
said what it always said.

I saw the sparking metal
as bullets hit the stone....
where she would be 
if I could see
the ghost 
who walks me home.
