scratchety myrrh 

and pigment 

   sighs 

                 are symbols 

 the sader 

   strings words 

                          sutures the sound

                                    strong whiskey prevails

              and suffocates reason

         stones are thrown 

                              oaths shouted
               Cars are a blur
                                                 yellow and grey and charcoal brick
a hand holds a key
                         another slaps the face
  and holds the pen
