Relocating
-*-
The way fresh air is always needed,
(just a bare necessity),
makes a move uncomplicated,
but tests your brain's dexterity.
-*-
Getting rid of lots of items,
cleaning drawers and old boxes,
finding memories that lighten
that sure feeling of being doxed.
-*-
The way fresh air is always needed
It sure is my moving force,
I'll put my brain in overdrive,
I need to move with no remorse.
-*-
I saw your face when I was talking
about my plans and future dreams;
you were listening in silence
but I heard your silent screams.
-*-
The way fresh air is always needed
is not a reason to be at strife;
I may be leaving this old city,
but I'm not parting from your life.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

With a little fresh air and love, everything goes better. Even if a move is needed (many times, these are enough to prevent the move).
Silent screams of someone who will miss you. Lived the last lines!
