Lucille


Lucille


Strip it, clean it, oil it,
then click, slide, and pop

the lethal components back
into the killing machine.

“This is my rifle, this is my gun—
one is for killing and both are for fun.”

    Lucille - I think I must be missing the reference between the title and the gun image? I did wonder why the final couplet changes 'voice' with the quotation marks. Is the poem long enough to sustain two voices?
