Gun Lover

Your rifle in your loving arms...
And like a newborn child
You rock ever so gently away
Time spent bullets under pillows
Yellow like tiny teeth.
Live rounds behind glass frames
Down your hallway

About Me
disposition; antipoet
age; pentagerian
location; Helena, Mt.
I've had some formal training in creative writing though tend to disregard it. The dark content of work is important because, although my disposition is carefree I'm constantly reminded of the importance of being aware of my darkness so might not manifest itself in reality.
