Flailing

Bruce Matteson

One man stands
Has a gun in his hand
Has gum on his breath has
Things in his desk
One man runs
Away from the sun
Has reasons enough
And burdens

When the showdown comes
The action will hum
Like a shadow on stone
Where a bullet seeks bone
Where justice is done
And atonement is gone
From the table
Now and forever

One man stands
His heart in his hands
He’s spit out his gum and
Cleared out his desk
One man runs
His face to the sun
Has hope after all
And wings
