She rules the night
That ends with grey dawn’s mist
To light the breaking of the day

ffffffzzzzzzzzzzzztttt
BANG

*what the fuck was that?*

No more rest but rise
To feed the dying fires
Fingers that touch the sky
Fall back and close their eyes

BOOM BOOM BOOM
*evil neighborhood kids running away*
Ha Ha take that you old man! Ha Ha


*old man resumes his pitiful typing, yass where was I? oh yass*

The wind runs through the leaves
Stirring, dropping north from winter’s edge
Is known again and coughs again its breath
I close my eyes and I fall back

FZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTT! Boom
*ha ha we did it again, little creeps run off*
*old man runs down the street chasing little kids*
I’m gonna call the cops on you little fokking dirty bratS*

To sleeping death and then I hear it coming
The roaring rain that trains its water on my dying fires

BOOM BOOM M-80 BOOMS AGAIN

*oh shit, my roof’s a fire, dear lord*
*sound of fire trucks*

*Old man gets out the hose and starts watering his roof, thinks to himself, what was that last line?*

*says to himself, ah yess*
Puts them out and makes me wake

*goddam, every year it’s Ho Chi Man goddamn trail!*

*old man smiles, someday I’m gonna get those kids!*
