Fallen From A Chariot is a collection of original free-verse poems by Laughlin Award finalist Kevin Prufer. A dark- themed collection, most of its poems deal with death that comes tragic, sudden, or murderous ways, from ancient to modern times; mourning those who have passed, reflecting on the brief and transitory nature of life, the sepulchral words of ghosts, and more. Narcissist Elegy: The little black gun where my heart should be / fired and fired until, / like yours, it stopped. And such a pause in my chest, / my ribs grown steel and the cave all dark, grown barred - / The hammer / clicked and the gun just sparked.
