“Shot.”
“Mom shot.”
“Dad shot.”
Dad lying atop
my tiny body.
Dad blocked
the shot
and the new word
death taught.
The new word
killed Mom.
Killed Dad.
Killed Family.
Killed us all.
Shot,shot,shot,shot!
Shot,shot,shot,shot!
Shot,shot,shot,shot!
Repeat it with me
over and over and over.
Mom shot.
Dad shot.
Shot,shot,shot,shot!
words no two year old
should know.
Shot,shot,shot,shot!
Shot,shot,shot,shot!
Shot.
Shot.
Shot.
Shot.
