Last Shot


Stalking a dream

trailing a memory

A scent came in focus

  wafting desire

 

Seized by the moment

alluding a time warp

Tracking its shadow

ambush on fire

 

Covered in greasepaint

fear is approaching

Hearing its footsteps

the jungle embarked 

 

Crosshair detention

target redemption 

Locked and reloaded

—one shot in the dark

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2023)
