Hattie
Came slowly.
She was sullen and strong as
She crossed the carribbean shrouded in gray.
The warning was short as we battened down tight.
A blustery,piercing howling beast.
Mighty trees knelt down.
Souls washed away.
Hattie shook
Rattled
Rolled.
That
Day.

She came unannounced
How long will you stay this time
Will you at least say goodbye.
Why.
I thought we had a deal
If you come back with pain or passion
With a vengeance
Soothing hands. P.M.S.
Red silk or black cotton dress

Here I wrote a song for you.
The blues.Gut bucket Delta.

Come back honey
Sit down and smooth your dress
look me in the eye and lie about where you been.

Lie to me cause it don't hurt anymore
This could never be.
Go ahead lie to me.

I will sing the song just as long as you
want to hear it.
Just lie to me.

Empty.expended.
Hungry.dry.
Cleared.

Vented.vacant
Purged.thinne­d.
Diluted.

Wrinsed.spent.
Over and
Out.

This is what I am
I am the best.
The hide.
I
wait with
Mosin-Nagant.

You will rue the day
as  I lay in wait
with
Mosin-Nagant

The wind bites my face
My fingers grow numb
The ground is hard
My will is harder
I put my trust in
Mosin-Nagant

There an flash of color
The clank of steel
I smell the diesel
in the distance a speck
appears then two.
Easy shot whispers Mosin-Nagant.

The column trudges into view.
What order whispers Mosin-Nagant.
Far right  then the slowest.

We huddle closely as the reticle sets
on the dead man walking  on the right flank.
No easy task . I am Mosin-Nagant.
