Word count 1201.

Little May little May standing in the rain.
Umbrella clenched in tiny fists
Loaded gun to hand

Who is she who bravely walks
The still night streets alone

With muddied boots and bloodied hands
All frozen to the core

Little May little May standing in the rain.
But she is not really alone
Her bearer but a shadow
Behind her lonely frame
