ANECDOTE TO A HEARTACHE

by Darrell Petska




My grandson
who is 4
and enamored of
all things "Frozen"

overheard mention
of a gun—
What's a gun?
he wanted to know.

Our hearts ached
as he looked
adult to adult,
awaiting a response.


Darrell Petska writes poetry and fiction within reach of his three grandchildren in southern Wisconsin.
