Empty Drawer

The naked crash rumble of

an empty drawer let fall onto

a wood floor

 

Or a bullet to the brain

smack to make what once was

now no more

 

A scene of death to adore for

whatever more it was

it was swift and precise and 

not a messy death that was

not at all precise

 

Crash

 

Rumble

 

Empty

 

of

 

life

 

Swift and precise; dead before 

knowing you are no longer alive

 

Swift solid easily cleaned up mess

forgive the racket before to make

what is no more

 

Muzzle to forehead

Pull trigger

Now dead

 

Death announced by a naked

crash

rumble

tumble 

fumble of life

 

A shotgun blast is proof that

A meaningfu death is a death

that sounds precise

 

Pre

cise

ly

 

Like

 

The naked crash rumble of

an empty drawer let fall onto

a wood floor

 

Or a bullet to the brain

smack to make what once was

now no more
