Shimmering Light
Through the cracks it sneaks
Scary are the creaks
Just taking a peek
Seemed out of reach
Wasn't sure how there could be a breach
The angle that emanates
Nothing that translates
But this light is ever so bright
Just as well it doesn't bite
Looking up it gave me a fright
It was the darkest night
To breathe it took all my might
The cold caused such blight
New I needed to fight
There was something that didn't feel right
So cold I thought I was going to lose my sight
Needed to get through this night
The slightest sound gave me a fright
This light that flickered through the bight
Such was the nature of shimmering light

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."
