•i only               •••            weep for          
the path of my brethren•when we turn

the flames we've stoked • we play with lives as we pit
                    them to a gamble•the hei-               nousness

There was a howl, as the faucet began to drip drip drip, and the creaks of a house built too long ago stretched her weary bones as the faucet proceeded to drip drip drip, and a man and a woman held on tight, this memory being just a glimpse, as the faucet kept up its drip drip drip, and a child cried as his toe was stubbed, and still the faucet dripped dripped dripped, and the family fixed it, and so it stopped, and grey was in season as the winter grew near, and the house was empty, and the family was gone, and yet the faucet again began to drip drip drip.

The faucet drips as it whispers to me
Each word each time
Dropping sounds, letting noise free
Secrets rise and fly
As they die inside me
