Gunshot

author
Matthew Rundle

The smell of rotting flesh
lingered in the air 
Flies and buzzards circled
the blood stained footpath 
The unmistakable outline
A body visible 
A mother weeping and howling 
blue and red flashes
Glistened and reflected 
Off the blood stained
A life taken far to young
killed by the bullet of a gun
