Space Veteran

Put the rifle back  

in that shattered bag,  

don't want to forget  

traumas from my hell. 

  

Geysers in my soul  

only need to explode, 

watch me hike tonight  

on my satellites.

Bloodletting Is Not a Trifle

What he did to simple Mark 
With a sword 
Left him with a complex mark 
In a ward …
Endless cries of “Oh!  My  lord “  
“I’ve broken somebody’s spinal   cord.”

Before then, parading a rifle4 
But from his Dad getting eyeful, 
Who would a begged laughter stifle
As blood-letting isn’t a trifle.

The Young

whistles blare
gun powder in the air
lead pours overhead
I can't wait to feel my bed

I line up my rifle 
breathe and squeeze
my orders are to strife
I run empty so I freeze

the quit nights are haunted
this conflict was unwanted
one more tally added; I can't mask it
make sure they spell it right on my casket

Guns Don'T Kill People

Guns don't kill people
But bullets do
So keep all your guns
But make bullets taboo

Restrict cartridge sales
Like any jet flight
With proof of ID
& registered right

Limit each purchase
To  registered guns 
Make mothers happy
With long-living sons

Bullets kill loved ones
& people we know
So give every shooter
A tough row to hoe!

The Woman and Her Rifle

Her long, flowing, black hair
sways in the autumn breeze 

silence speaks, she is silent 

a lonely bullet lays in the chamber 
her hands rest gingerly on the guard 
her fingers snuggle the trigger 

The leaves blow, the poppies bloom
and the grass stands still....

her eyes gaze and wonder.... 

the enemy is in her cross-hair
silent speaks....

The bullet whispers to the wind....
