Wounded

Olga L. Chacon
I'm lying
on the living room floor
below the window
with a bullet
burning in my chest.

Their voices
...an ambulance...I'll call...hurry!
so far away
faces so blurry,
as if my body
were moving away...
[Grandpa is that you?]

My life,
the price I have to pay
for breaking into
a stranger's house,
but one thing I'm sure of

...I'll never do it again.
