I think—
I think there was a man and a woman...
They were arguing.
Inside the man’s tightly curled fist
Rested a pistol
With his index finger slumbering on the trigger.
The woman,
Unalarmed, stepped forwards
Challenging the man.
He jumped in reaction,
The gun flailing along with his taut, strained arms.
The woman began to shout, when
An explosion of gunpowder
Cut open all the air
And everything went silent.
