..out of our hands
We said (too) much
to let it rest, in
a p/l/a/c/e I didn't
want to return to...
I*S*O*L*A*T*I*O*N*
The ticking-tock
of the evil clock
Chimes as loud as
bullets flying in
a civil war.....
C/I/V/I/L/ ...?
Dare I say (ours)
is anything, but
civil...
In all of the vicious
slandering, I see our
world fading, dreams
fading, us...

This is wonderful.
I haven't really read any Dirty Pretty's in a while, since I haven't been on. But this made me want to read even more. This is completely beautiful. My favorite part is:
"Avalanche of dreams

Breath-taking.
