I walk the mansions the high fences the hedges. I walk the gloaming yellow windows at night. I walk the fallen leaves and rains. I walk the brick sidewalks the curt hellos the expensive comfort wear. I walk the looming the shadows the shade the alleyways where garbage bins rest. I walk the sewers. I walk walls erecting erected bricked scaffolded buried blocked. I walk do not enter here, do not stand there, do not speak or look. I walk the graveyards.
 
I walk alone, together alone with you, in darkness. I walk with you under the stars. I walk with you when the moon has waned completely. I walk with you loud and silent, smelly and sweet, screaming and crying. I walk with you in these black times the muddy spaces the gaps the lava the rubble the bombs the fires the shit. I walk with you into the unknown known forgotten believed. I walk the cemeteries the bones and teeth the ash and dust that was is life.
