Kim Van Breda Poet Rhyme

Russian Roulette

RUSSIAN ROULETTE

Let’s amuse ourselves
playing a novel
diversion
a contested match
relatively brave
perversion

Rules are a painless
tranquil and soothing
excursion
two weapons of fun
comic tragedy
immersion

Loading of handguns
all blanks except one
insertion
metal to the head
trigger finger tight
explosion


Ingenuous
Oblivion
In
Legitimate
Version
