To Shoot A Gun
Hiding
on the trigger side of the rifle
her shifting elbows
leave the lollipop sights
unaligned:
but after squinting both eyes
she fires.
In her delighted fingertips
is mind
she, too, can touch.

wow
I really liked this.
However the last part
"In her delighted fingertips
is mind
she, too, can touch"
seemed a little off.
Especially the 'is mind'. I don't know if you were going for 'mine' instead or if you actually meant 'mind' as in brain or conscious. If that's so, then I think 'is a mind' flows a lot better.
But that is just me :)
