Read more at Bleeding Horse John has two books available - "give a poor man god and watch him starve" and "world without sound" at lulu.com from shadow to shadow a fight about money which is nothing new the silence of sunlight on ice or of rooms filled with unpleasant truths the child dead halfway through the operation a small sound beneath the bright blue scream of the sky and that i am telling you i'm sorry that i am standing on the wrong side of a locked door am digging in the broken glass at the edge of the highway for something i've lost for someone who's been taken and i am working on a theory that there is a missing person for every stretch of empty space between us and i'm waiting for the phone to ring i'm waiting for the sound of your voice or the feel of your heat the taste of your skin something to make everything else seem hopeful |
