My Death In My Hand (Poem)

He offers this as a gift.

Black and neon green, it could be anime.

Lighter than a ceramic cup, it could be a toy.

The bullets make it real. They look like what they are.

Good intentions unmasked; detailed directions to the grave.

Black depression now armed stalks me through the back streets.

Overhead the waiting raptors kettle as they keep watch.
