    A dramatic and thoroughly effective little piece. I love the last line.

    Michael,

    These words are few, and leave a lot to fill in by the reader and with a subject like this, that may be for the best.

    Mind totally set.

    ^^^^
    This denotes suicide, so immediately the reader knows the persona must be desperate and determined
    Loaded, barrel spun, mouth wide -

    ^^^^^^
    Very clear mental image, the mentioning of the mouth being opened wide made me want to do something to stop it from happening!
    Inserted, cocked - click.

    ^^^
    Very abrupt, clean and precise, just like these sort of endings are.....

    Well executed poem, well chosen format.

    5/5 Ingrid x
