Emerging
By Stephen Martin

(17)

I found killing–
First a fish,
Then a deer;
An elk, an antelope,
Another deer.

The long rifle–
An extension of my arm
My heart.

I was killing my heart.

When I found out about
The hard truth of life
Leaving the eyes
Of the animals
I pierced
With
Guns,
I felt anger for the lie–
Passed down as a white,
Montana,
Bar Mitzvah.
