released

Powder your fuck ups
Powder your cheeks
Porcelain, perfect
Hazy and dream-like

Ready for war,
Wait in the clinic
Arms at your side
Tongue at the ready

Finger release,
An easy mistake
Stumble out drunkenly 
Future delayed 

Outline your eyes,
With a scope 
Or a barrel
The safety released 

Watch for a sign,
Real or conjured
In the spiraling metronome 
Of your mind
