“I used a shotgun
to kill a little bird on a snowy day when I was eleven.
Then, as I looked down from Mount Olympus at the broken angel
in his crystal tomb, I covered him with a tear and swore
that I would hunt no more until little birds
to kill a little bird on a snowy day when I was eleven.
Then, as I looked down from Mount Olympus at the broken angel
in his crystal tomb, I covered him with a tear and swore
that I would hunt no more until little birds
were given shotguns.”
