Secret Life

A man with a gun in his hand
is sitting in a tiny corrugated
dark room with very little air
He aims with locked elbow
and shoots
a hole in the tin roof above
Sunlight spills
down,
a moment passes
He is waiting for something
so absolutely wrong.
Then he fires a few more shots
and above him appears more holes
from where his only engine to survival comes:
the Light.
