Uncertainty
as a strategy
nearing
last call

reeling
once more
gone
off course

purposefully
blurred
mass murderers
pressed into service

cordoned
law enforcement
unimaginable
slaughter

booming reports
worst shootings
on home soil

silenced voices
slow to crawl
slow to walk

distraught
rapid-fire
rifle assaults

twisted silver ribbons
pinned for massacre victims
especially chilling panicked whispers


inflexibility
insistence
thumping
hair triggers

SHRIEKING
HEAVING
WEEPING...
