A Handful of Bullets

this
is what i see


you
poring over
the handful of bullets
that desire entry
to your ready gun

emanating shadows
white turns to black
black to white

pulsating rage
a hiss in a bullet
red red hate
flaming pocked moon
death imploding

a solitary shard
holds planetary tears in reflection
drifting to ocean's floor
and here it settles
into the ancient sediment

i spend my time now
diving
searching
trying to piece together mirrors

currents ever wash
over our wounds
and oh yes
don't we clutch them

ever so tightly
