“... the compensation for a death sentence is knowledge of the exact hour when one is to die. A great luxury, but one that is well earned.”

as splinters stuck in your ear. The noise we steal
is half a bell. And outside cars whisk by on the suburban street
and are there and are true.
What else is this, this intricate shape of air?
calling me, calling you.”
