A bullet on the table
There's a bullet on the table.
What it's for I'll not label.
Just a question I'll ask for as long as I'm able,
"how, not why, should my hand be stayed?
May deeds undone be so worthy this delay ?"
There is a bullet on the table.
What it's for I'll not say,
I make that blood pact "today" I will not stray.
It is just that I know. I know that it's there.
That bullet on the table.
Upon that idol I'll stare & with broken breaths swear.
"Another day is done & still my hand is stayed,
until tomorrow & for as long as I'm able"..
I'll keep that bullet, on the table.
What it's for I'll not label.
