"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

Silence




It was one of those days...bright, silent, filled with unexpected shadows. There was stillness in the wake of the latest murder. Two men approached me near the edge of a field. I said hello and they let me pass. Today at least, I wasn't worth the trouble.

Downtown, the only sounds were the humming of electrical wires and hinges creaking in the breeze.

The shadow in the bottom photo makes me look like a monster, but this is okay. It's monsters who look like humans that are frightening.
