quoth the raven: nevermore

there are lighter moments, the click and light of a cigarette, the first long exhale like hearing the sun set or watching the darkness cloud fall across the city in orders uncountable switches flicked active current direct current god said let there be light couples share a bottle of wine, televisions turn on homework is lied about, affairs cut short by nightfalls: sometimes the lucky ones find a lover's embrace careful at home, knees touch carpet in front of a couch, eye meet hand storkes hair, prayers said or children sleep children made. this is all good, says god-smiles.

we are here. better or wordse we are here for flicked switches, cigarettes lit, televisions on, prayers said, kneelings in front of sofas, neighbors kicked my cat, etc. smile, unslender world, you.
