As I've become one of your faithful readers, for mysterious reasons, I feel obliged to comment because I've read this a few times. I am perplexed by where you chose to insert line and stanza breaks. I'm wondering if it is to mimic the handling of a firearm or perhaps the art of stalking prey. Also wondered about the him repeat too. I feel this poem could do with more stealth and fewer jerky movements.

It does seem a bit like prose though, don't you think so?
