In one moment
it is over.
In one moment
it is gone.
The morning grows
thin, gray
and our lives—
how they were—
have vanished.
Our lives have
changed
when I walk
in on Lizzie
my sister
holding a shotgun.
She fingers the
trigger.
Looks up.
My sister.
My sister just looks
up at me.
Touching
the trigger
of that gun.
