the blow

the blow the surprise
was like a shotgun blast
or maybe a rifle shot and i
was there at point blank
point of no return i didn't ever
want to admit it
like teasing a dog with chocolate
he'll never get it only learns
how it feels to want and
then goes in the backyard
to maybe dig out an old
bone to see if he can find
any flavor where once
there was none
and so i stand in
shell shock everything
is quieter muffled and
the smell of the blast coats
everything i am numb can't
feel can't hear can't move
the world goes on and all
i can do is stare i can't
even close my eyes or it
wouldn't matter anyway because
the images the flash is burned
on the back of my eyes
i can only hope that the
next shot is aimed at
my head not my heart.
