Shot Valentine

Precariously perched
above my head
a boulder just where I had
left it years ago
in that dark and narrow
strip of sky between two
roof-lines the fullest moon
a silver bullet chambered
toward the heart
of every human being
who sees it pulls the trigger
lets the boulder go
just one that had ascended
that soft autumn night
but oh the shot was slow
