inside
a gun,
Just black, solid.
Like graphite from a wooden pencil, but no trace of shiny silver, anthracite:
Dark night,
Like a charcoal stick from the art supplier, but it don't draw,
Like the inside of one of them industrial fuses that you thought was a blasting cap
so you hammered on it and tried to blow it up,
Only to find it full of carbon, inscrutable, sterile, too hard to crumble,
Useful for what?
