Your spent bullet casing earrings
were a dead giveaway to your NRA membership.
I am glad you have not proved
a woman is just as capable of mass shootings as a man.
I find it odd that the brass is stamped with crucifixes—
onward Christian soldier.
As a woman you have endured hardship enough
to claim that title.
You strut your dogma at the counter-protests
and hope the TV cameras catch the glint in your eye.
Ravens follow you around the business district
confident your hands burn to kill.
