Bullets Still Don’t Have Names on Them

^{From various WIS-TV online news stories}

Maybe it’s fireworks, 
maybe it’s a gunshower 
falling
like rain stuttering,
the screeching, the hauling, 
pulling away from the pool:
shots remember being quiet.
Our city an epicenter.
Teens shoot 
a delivery of bullets
in possession. 
Teens arrested
Teens shooting
Teens getting shot.
A promise to a community: 
Get involved, 
answer the call 
to mentor, to talk
to them, to walk 
with them. 
It’s time to work.
