A Sagebury Hills' home on a Sunday before the family returned from church

When "" walked into
room,  floor
creaked under ""s boots
while "" looked around
talcum powder
on {} pillow
filled up ""s head
with wonder
as "" removed ""s hat
light from a crack
in window fell
softly across lapel
on ""s coat across
""s woolen face.
"I'll find you,"
"" said.
Laying flower
"" had picked onto
{} neatly made-up
bed, "" took out
""s pistol glanced
over it to decide whether
it required cleaning.
"" was a man who
wanted receiving
party of ""s bullets
to be able see
reflection fully in shine
of colt's nickel
just before day became
dark full of lead.
