Question: How often do you take stock of your life!?
"I've no comfort in waiting!."
"Bleed a bit first!. For me!."
"I will not!. Nothing I have done is for you!."
"I can make the birds sound like dying children!."
"I will not hear them!."
"I can turn the wind black!."
"I will face the sky!."

A blade of grass between his teeth, a twisted finger spins it on his lip!.

"This is my canon!."
"It is yours to own, then!."

The space between them shifts and their shadows become one!. A crow sweeps it's wing over a rotted tree branch and returns to the horizon!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sounded like Satan on the Buk show, but without the humorous ending!. Deep !. !. !. (thank God halloween only comes once a year!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Deeply dark and haunting in tone, your words set the stage and scene, including smoke rising from the floor all in conversation, with the eerie visual of the crow returning to the horizon, whose wings I heard!.

Your head must hurt after an effort like this!

Years ago my sponsor asked me to take stock AND inventory of my life!. I never got to share it with him as he slipped, went on a bender,
and was never heard from again!. I saw him a few years later, sleeping on a subway bench!. He had no idea who I was!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
