It was empty on the edge of but we knew everyone floated along the of the river. So we through the waste where the road curved into the sea and the seasons lay, and the bitter smell of burning was on you a disease. In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a runner." The sky had come crashing down like the of an intimate suicide. We picked up the and formed them into shapes of stars that wore an antique wedding dress. The echoes of the past the hearts of the unborn as the wheel silently slowed to a stop. The few insects skittered in hopes of a better pastime.

The sun was somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon and the darkness is a mystery of and lines. Still, we lay under the emptiness and slowly outward, and somewhere in the we found salvation scratched into the earth a message.
