"finger guns"

Her finger guns go off all bold
in wild shots through bullseye holes
that weren't there a trigger-pull ago

She meant to attach asterisks
perhaps to emphasize the risks
or say "there may be more to this"

What that is, we shan't know.
Because one bullseye's right on-sleeve
Where heart is kept, and shot through
accidentally

She'd have us all believe.
