It's a Dark Night
hot air hangs like a dead man
from a white oak tree
people sitting on porches
thinking how things used to be
dark night
dark night
the neighborhood was changing
strangers moving in
a new boy fell for a local girl
when she made eyes at him
she was young and pretty
no stranger to other men
but doors were being locked at night
old lines were drawn again
I thought things like that
didn't matter anymore
I thought all the blood
had been shed long ago

Date: 2012-09-09 11:01 pm (UTC)We escaped to a back room, but Jacob got bitten covering our asses. That guy turned out to have some giant-ass balls, believe you me. In the time he had before he turned he helped us arm ourselves with shit we found in the storeroom. Then he started blessing the water from the tap.
I swear to you, when we hit that door, it was that guy's faith that made the difference. That blessed water hit them like battery acid. It was the most fucking amazing thing I ever saw. Haven't been able to forget it.
...they whittled us down. At the end it was just me and Kate. But we lasted til dawn. Then Carlos showed up and thank God he listened when we told him to blow the doors down.
[A long sigh. He pulls out a fresh pack of Red Apples and taps one out, then offers the pack.]
