The rain was cutting
densely into the granite adjunct
this Saturday dawns, a dense chill was
when the dew settles on your countenance.
in guarding the ant by my shoe,
I wondered the
water between my toes less
of an annoyance for myself, more some
daily perdition in his passage. The
sky's empty reproach was
shed from his back in a moment, in
some droll manner of preservation.
Still my jacket is soaked of this veil over
the air, and I have
thirty miles left tonight and
the symptoms of a waning empathy.-
I will tell you,
Ant, I have slaughtered, without
compassion nor regret, any
any of you in my domain
