A man with a gun in his hand
is sitting in a tiny corrugated
dark room
with very little air
He aims with locked elbow
and
shoots
a hole in the tin roof above
Sunlight spills
down,
a moment passes
He is waiting for something
so absolutely wrong.
Then
he fires a few more shots
and so more holes from where
his only engine to survival
comes:
The Light.

I think he was waiting for the miracle of love
