Mighty Bang

Vincent Chen

I aimed for the heart –

the core the crux

of the mess I'd made

the solution above me

around me about me, not within

absolve myself of blame

but when I reach the fog

the cloud the mist, I hid

from sharp eyes like hail

they saw me better

than I could ever

I know I've got to change

I'd aimed and shot

thought I'd escaped

but they'd hit me in the brain.
