https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9jbdgZidu8 Pogues: Shane MacGowan dies, age 65.

Miserable train trip. "Cold", bright lights, couldn't get comfortable. And then... Pan wasn't home. I was upset. Later, he did cook supper but left again. I'm probably over-reacting. Why do I bother?

I was the wounded fox quivering in the dark forest waiting for the fog of oblivion, the seed wedged in a crack in the parched pavement waiting for the rain. And I was the golden child who knew he was fake gold waiting for a hug he never received.

So there I was, waiting for the end of winter, hoping I would die come spring.

My lips savored the bittersweet chocolate. I wasn't hungry, hadn't been for a long long time; but, the memory of chocolate-past soothed my nerves. I wanted to die quick. This wasting away was tedious and unnecessary. The end was known. Why, oh why, the delay?

I watched the icicle drip. It was slowly dying too.
