Analysis of From Your Pen



All power in the caliber,
not the number or the count

Its penetration deeper,
when focused and avowed

The wound well placed is mortal,
its shot not heard till then

But a gun’s not half as lethal
 —as what’s fired from your pen

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
