  to Belfast city, a tiny pad
  shattered windows, tilted clocks

nothing
only darkness.
the sounds of evil
dripping into my ears
slithering farther
and sliding down into me
filling me with echoes.

Mortifying me…longing to be free…
Drifting away
Go ahead and throw up your explanation points!!

 The stranger treads the sidewalk, 
Walking his happy-go-lucky canine
Solitude is preserved in him…

In the land of the Angles

Against their will to a trial
In a grand city
