I saw her standing there,
My macoushla.  

How beautiful
she looked that day.

Well- defined lips
closed tightly,
dark eyes stared frostily

hair blowing in the breeze,
a Galway shawl
covered her shoulders.
  

Her small hands
held a  Thompson gun

which clattered and whined
as she pulled the trigger
.
Red seeped through his khaki
jacket  as he slumped to the ground.

Honour  avenged

Gallows claimed
my darling
but she will dwell
in my heart forever.

Sounds like an old movie.  Enjoyed the read.

You're quite a story teller!  Is this part of an ongoing story -- I intrigued.

Illana it is partly true. It is about my aunt in Ireland who was raped some years ago. She wanted to kill him but didn't. Thanks for your comments. Maggie
