Slow and Quick

My death was slow and quick.

A bullet inside the arm, through the vein, into the bloodstream

It climaxed my partner.

She was ready for anything, ready for sobriety

Monogamy, family.

She was ready for betrayal

Fallacies, deceit, pain.

Murder, she was ready for murder.

A bullet inside the arm, up into the vein

A vein so large, green, protruding from the skin

The bullet became the vein’s, the vein’s own.

It swam, swam around inside the vein.

The bullet did spirals, loops, handstands

And all sorts of underwater acrobatic maneuvers.

The death was slow and quick.
