Lover’s Roulette
A 50 Word Poem About Love
By Kenneth cruzPublished 12 months ago • Updated 12 months ago • 1 min read
I love you.
“Click,” “spin.”
I love you more.
“Click,” “spin.”
Heart racing,
Playing Russian roulette without a gun—
Hugs and kisses instead of bullets.
Still, the fear feels just as real.
“For how long?”
“Click, spin,”
Her question, aiming to seal the deal.
“Forever yours,” I say.
Bang—I’m done.

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
