Starling and
gaudy jay. Accusatory. Feeble and broken sounds
throughout the brighter debate. Air and years of service.
Mossy logs as podia. Quick flourishes, wing-flashes,
nearly savage equipments of that sort. Reputations,
impugned, chilling the encounter. Form in hand-in-hand.
Let danger come. Defiance, as spoken from deep
library chairs. Appearing at ease. Polished
mahogany. Each considers his maleness
weakened; his days the only admissible trophy,
their own self-interested agenda their dialogue, their
bullet the only debt you owe.
