The gunman screamed
You’re going to die
Breathless, I said
I know
He whispered then
But not today
and left me there

Raw, powerful.
Thank you, Chess. Sort of rubbed me the wrong way after I wrote it. The last word of the poem sets the tone – had many possibilities, decided on this one. —–Chagall
I liked it very much.
Thank you again. I very much appreciate your comments. —–Chagall
