Last Bullet (+3)

Forty-five caliber abstract

 targets big and small

 

Bullseye in the mirror

 memories recalled

 

Warning shots abandoned

 prey now closing in

 

One last bullet chosen

 —fired from within

Stars & Stripes

 

Out of great struggle

  comes even greater opportunity

 

Each threat being glue

  and a tie that binds

 

With noble purpose

  we define our highest calling

 

Freedom in our blood

  —by our will refined

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)

Last Tear

 

Watching myself

Wanting you

Standing alone

 —the end in view

 

Watching myself

Reach out through the pain

Lost shadow of night

 —last tear in your rain

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2016)

 

Cancer

 

It takes from your body

  but steals from your spirit

 

Hope its main victim

  —promised future unseen
