she was weeping
I was sleeping
but awoke
while lying
there bleeding
she startled
and screamed
not expecting
to see me
breathing
I assured her
I was fine
but I lied
bullets... >>>>
grazed my shoulder
... pierced my gut,
and nicked my spine
[[[[[ freezing ]]]]]
I told her to run
no need, twice
she was wealthy
this whole mess
unhealthy
the only thing
lingering
was her
smell
A nice earthy touch
for the finale's final fade-out.
