but

Ya gotta stop dying

•   •

In the town

Girls with painted faces

No young men hanging around

///

Tears

Gullies of misdirection

She stumbles and falls down

///

The return

All dreams are broken

orphanages are everywhere

///

Anger and grief

The fires Raging

We **** ourselves out of shame

///

Little frozen images

Promises of loveliness

Betrayed
