bark (fade out)

dogs slamming
their tiny
bodies into
chain-link fences,
horses striking
packed soil
with their
bare hooves,
cats dragging
their claws
on wooden
tables, blackbirds
rattling the
bars of
their cages,
rats scurrying
around in
bedroom walls

irememberhowyouusedtosayyoudneverchangebutthatsnottrueohcarolineyou

a light shimmers just under the surface of the water.
