...
   Doggone it, I used to make a killin' at casinos,
          R o l l i n g sevens; killing em' all softly

Some hearts grow still, their warmth descends.
A mask they wear, so smooth, so bright,
Concealing voids that shun the light.
Their eyes, untroubled by the...

as if guilt could be washed like dirt.
Cold showers never baptized the ache;
