It was empty on the edge of town but we knew floated the bottom of the river. So we walked through the waste the road curved into the sea and the seasons lay, and the smell of burning was on you like a disease. In our cancer of you said, "Death is a midnight runner." The sky had come crashing down like the of an intimate suicide. We picked up the shards and formed into shapes of stars that wore like an wedding dress.
