arsenal

1.

come close to me
and break;



2.

your case is here, inside
with your name inscribed
housing powder ignited
by fate;



3.

I am
leading
lead astray,
hoping
to see you
barrel-chested
someday;



4.

never stop:
add more to the stream,
make concrete gleam
with the shards that you fling,
stay full automatically,
cover the scene
with the steam
of hot metal
aimed haphazardly;



5.

stand still
and I promise
you won't feel a thing;



6.

panic,
the sound
of your disjointed end,
if you think
you've collected your mind
think again;



7.

steady your step
and make
ready for death,
you will soon be
forgetting your breath.
