LGLAR (Long Gone Like A Rifle)

I get these visions of you and me

Sunset, silhouettes and shadows

long red gown

flapping in the night breeze


there's you heading uphill

against the stinging chill

all for a dollar

and maybe the thrill of it


recurring visions hit me

this time, they sting

my arms lash out

to grip a scene


to freeze and peek

to feel, at least

but Like a rifle

they're long gone


Long enough to trick the mind

Long enough for my eye to see

nothing but a glimpse

of nothing

D. E. Gress: Right from the start you're pulled into the sci-fi world of crashing on a unfamiliar planet and having to deal with the messy side of human nature.
