Words Play

Blending with the light,
as ancients did? 
on the leafy path.

You turn your gun?
on an old skull,
with broken teeth,

to rewrite the murder, 
without qualms. A sniper 
would take an aim.

Untouchable, the years 
roll by, sending echos 
in the valley of tears.

A final stroke. 
The blood stops in the veins 
while the angel sleeps.
