Sniper Sniper
Dec 17, 2021
He’s a sniper. One shot kill!
From far-far-away… Still.
Until a prey shows up.
Empty, serene his breath goes
Away.
That brief moment — between
Emptiness and filling his lungs
With vitality… BANG! Shoots
A prey from afar.
He forgets all about his
Camouflage. Goes away to
Check — is she still breathing?
That deer, dearest deer…
A sacrifice to mankind.
