Question: You are asked her? This is true?

I like the poem but to me there is some confusion here:

He left you undone, still
Laughing until that shot stopped everything;-->
in the kitchen, ruined by
that hole he blew-->
and you never heard the crack but-->
The recoil sent you sprawling-----> The recoil sent her sprawling? How could she not hear the gun go off?

He didn't leave a note
or clean up his mess--> How can a dead man clean up a mess?

Or is this just good use of poetic licence?
