We sat there drinking baring are souls and cutting through ******* one drink at a time.
I never hung around other writers I wasn't a people person to begin with.
Silence was its own company .
And a man who could hold court with it and remain sane was stronger than most in a crowded room.
We poured the drinks and spoke of everything aside from the page.
To generals seldom give away secrets to there success or in are case the lack there of it.
Are scars were are own and my friend knew enough that we simply held court and stared at a woman bent over the jukebox.
Some lines are not written but are simply perfect enough as is.
We sat there till we closed the place down and vanished back to are own worlds .
We were wolves to the hunt all the same and are paths seldom crossed again.
Sometimes you howl into the night and somewhere from the depths the night howls back.
Sometimes its good to know another runs the same as me.
This is a tribute and nod to a fellow writer and one of the few writers I consider a brother .

Hope this connects bud .
Drinks on me always your brother from.the the south
