Crash Out




Death

it's loaded, positioned, taking aim
fired straight towards me
 
Child like with no known fear
it strikes

 
An explosion of ecstatic pain
cuts through me
 
I'm burning cold
my feet thrown from the ground
 
My eyes explode
blood splashes on my lips
 
Breath fades
my daughter holds my hand
 
I am dead.

Robert Kennedy
