Point Blank

Short time for long words—
bullets scream articulate,
painting naive walls
red with meaning.

No interpretation needed,
no conversation—
this a declaration
despite a loud rebuke of tears.
"Poetry is not speech raised to the level of music, but music brought down to the level of speech." - Paul Valery

1st poem of 2019 Marc.
Hope the coming year is less grim; but I'm not expecting it to be better than the previous one  :roll:
No crits here. I enjoyed the read...it's a compact little gem.
HNY to you and ALL here in TTB  :D
