2. The News

The search has stopped — no way you sought,

There never was one, never has been.

Slammed hard against the skull, the thought,

But the mind paid no attention, unseen.

 

The strength is gone — just one last line,

I dropped the message at the end,

The scent of bleach on the morgue sign,

The threshold has become a close friend.

 

Fate can't be changed — just ice and cold,

The story’s end is ready to be told.

Too late to keep the words on hold,

Shout them out from memory — unfold.

 

The dogs in packs began to howl,

From the basement, rise the sounds.

There is no other news — it's foul,

None wrote it down, there are bounds.
