Russian Roulette Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

mafia code cold
rules hardship plans
mistakes life made

chance ice acted out
drama last gun hand?
catch up time credit

many last thoughts
never nerve spoken
men never broken

chance is Russian Roulette
six cylinders soul spinning
lease of life up for winning

one bullet one cylinder
time dice rolls echoes chance
ghosts haunting dance

hear sound of hand gun
unheard by sudden dead one
pink brain shoot blood run
