lucky fourteen

he glared at her
playing her russian roulette
when he was ten feet tall but
not quite ready yet
for seven days of possible snow

he ordered a white russian
while her underwear spelled the week
and she bewildered herself
bewitchingly
seeking seven-day salvation

when he pulled the trigger out of her beautiful hair
he saved himself for the saving
and the touch of two sweaters
and i won
