Does the shot stop the man who falls Poem by Elmar Kuiper

Does the shot stop the man who falls



Does the shot stop the man who falls
when the bullet hits his chest

does it wound itself?

Or does the bullet learn not
to fire at a man who clutches

his weeping chest because death
from a barrel extinguishes life.

Does the slug cry out murderer?

Does the bullet think of the man
as it whistles through the air
for even one living second.
