we once had john dillinger

[tubgirl.jpg]

like fear made us perspire lard
thick and heavy sweat

with leaden legs, aching feet
machine-gun steps

a squeeze of the trigger glazes
summer dew over vacant eyes

nobody puts flowers by the roadside
for the trigger

 

[cduggles]

with leaden legs, aching feet
machine-gun steps

Spot on imagery!
And I love the title.

 

[Snafu in the Void]

very good and concise
