Ambiguity.

Ambiguity.
The idea of conveying a message through ambiguous means is certainly an interesting one. Telling the story without actually telling the story.


The Fate of Bullets

Still lifeless.  Body long gone cold.
How long has it been?  How long has it been there?
Eyes vacant--hollowed.
Eyes that gazed.  Eyes that pried.  Eyes that stare with lingering interest.
Stared at the body lying nearby.
The body she undressed with her eyes.  Set above the lips he kissed.
A wedding ring.  Trapped between the floorboards.  Caked blood.
Nearly matching the bronze of bullet casings.
Once six.  Now three.  Lifeless on the ground.
Lifeless as the bodies
The other three in the gun will never share the fate.
Never end a life. To each his own.
How long will they remain there?
The bodies will rot.  The bullets remain.
