Rounded Corners

rounded corners grip

knuckles white barrell open

pleading shades of gray

 

no humanity

in black metal white background

only gray shadows

 

the answer is not

in black and white or gray

nor bullets and blood

That second stanza is a kicker, Charlotte. Nicely explored.

I need you poets to help me out! You accomplish in a few well-chosen and well-placed words what it takes me pages to say.
