An
Abruptness of Gulls
The rain-slicked cobblestones.
The pleasure girl, and what she saw.
The pallid man and his burden.
The unwelcome attentions of hired guns.
A dock, and what was moored there.
A cabin, and what was hurled there.
The rain-slicked cobblestones.
The pleasure girl, and what she saw.
The pallid man and his burden.
The unwelcome attentions of hired guns.
A dock, and what was moored there.
A cabin, and what was hurled there.
A
father and his grief.
The bloodhound and a soiled dress.
The bloodhound and a soiled dress.
The
alley's end.
And
what was found there.
An
abruptness of gulls.
The sameness of days.
The sameness of days.
A
rocking of swells.
An eternity in the dark cabin.
A dockside tavern and a looseness of tongues.
An open palm and the readiness of coin.
A ship, most excellent and speedy.
An eternity in the dark cabin.
A dockside tavern and a looseness of tongues.
An open palm and the readiness of coin.
A ship, most excellent and speedy.
A
pursuit and the hope of rescue.
A port, the shining sand, a singing in the trees.
The tendrils that writhe.
Calls that echo and reply.
The narrow and winding path.
A
bicep gripped by a tall man's hand.
An ancient rune-carven stone.
An ancient rune-carven stone.
An
intonation of Words.
A flowering of crimson.
A flowering of crimson.
The
opening of a Door.
The
silence of leaves underfoot.
An
imposition of tendrils.
The
virtues of tempered steel.
The
silence in a clearing.
Some consequences of tardiness.
A buzzing of flies.
The stickiness of that which remains.
A gathering interest of crows.
The end
Some consequences of tardiness.
A buzzing of flies.
The stickiness of that which remains.
A gathering interest of crows.
The end
