Requiem for a Marriage Pt. 2: A Selection of Poems

HIGH NOON

This town ain’t big enough for the two of us
That much I know by now
Draw your weapon and make it a quick one
I ain’t doing this all day

You look pretty under the dying light
Not that I care anymore
Loading my bullets I count one by one
The memories in rusty rotation

You fire first straight through my heart
I shoot next burying into your brain
Lying there left to the buzzards
The sun sets at last

The duel is over
But the scars will remain
