Switch

J. Lannan

“Switch”

Fumbling with his trigger
Switch
Panic at the sights aligned
Ditch
Needles at the veins of time
Stop
Telegraph on faulty lines
Swap
Spitting at the stinging flesh
Feed
Nectar that his thoughts possess
Bleed
Broken down this country road
Flash
Sirens through the snow unfold
Crash
Coursing at her stolen prize
Joy
Riding on this bloody high
Soy
Sauced with vodka courage by
Ways
Scenic clearing treetops alight
Stays
Corseted waist and poison bite
Man
Seduced though danger’s certain
One
Night pushing through exertion
Twitch
Nerves, impulses, predominant
Switch
Fumbling for his trigger
Spent
