I'm writing this here, now, on the LPA. All I have is the opening line. I don't even know if I'll end up posting this or not, but I will try to make something out of it. why_ can I not hear_ the bark_ of a dog inside_ I'd kept you near_ for long_ running dawn bleed_ ever there_ here again hear_ bellowed in_ yelled at wind they placed it up against / a brothel's rusty fence along the way we could hear / the bodies' breath they seemed to worship the daze / of nights long lost / and amazed how they were at our gaze please let us tread our walk I said / nobody could stop them / all I hear is the talk an indescribable bark would you have killed them yourself / a bloody trace on the sand a bullet flickering through / in a way / it's what killed you over time and tonight / and there are spots in your eyes blocking out all of the light / destroying you in your sleep in a way / it's what killed me no heavens I'm rid of hell an endless circular spell no, I_ cannot hear_ the bark_ of a dog lost_ I'd kept you blind_ running fog heal_ ever here_ there again mute_ bellowed out_ into the dark
