Moon is getting red as if it's being strangled my legs are proving the struggle the night belongs to a scream scream of a sparrow in a gut deep stab by some homeless from the country far far away who stomps his feet every time you ask his name she was rather painted differently or interpreted differently but the melancholy woman I saw in the street selling goody bags with a huge smile on her face as I turn around the block it was alley of the gunshot people talk here in gunshot gunshot carols gunshot lullabies gunshot romance gunshot cry gunshot memories the subtle is the step you take the subtle is every trigger you pull bite you lips and you are accused of being a communist sad howl wakes up the city the feeling of being mugged is haunting every lamp every star every eye everything that glows and in a quiet distant direction voyage continues on a day slipping into a moonless night
