of duty on this day of contradictions.
Firefighters bow heads in silent paean,
while polished trucks stand...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 2I awoke the next day, with a soft smile,
Not awakened by the screeching and the moaning of the demons beside,
But of the intense breathing of my collaborator,
Crouching above me, glaring me down with eyes abhorred
Though...
