French kissing a .45 [ trying to coax the lead out ]

sometimes 
i kiss the 
cold steel 
trying to 
translate 
russian into 
comfort 
for my 
soul 
while 
spinning 
the 
wheel 
counting 
on red 
but 
betting 
on blank 

I 
only 
give it 
one shot 
a day 
& today 
wasn't 
it 
so i 
empty 
my glass 
of 
whiskey 
& try 
to get 
some 
sleep
