¨¨§¨¨¨§¨§§ i used to be a goth, in my youth, doing  §¨§§¨¨§¨¨¨
¨¨§§¨¨§§§¨ crimes mostly from or in my beloved and  §§§¨§¨§§¨¨
¨¨§¨§¨§¨¨§   trusted car, and sometimes my mothers  §¨¨§§§§¨§¨
¨¨§§§§§§¨§    barn. we lived just outside town, a   §§¨§¨¨¨§§§
§¨§¨¨¨¨¨§§   grove at the end of a dirt road, and   §¨§§§¨¨§¨¨
§§§§¨¨¨¨§¨  the barn was placed so you could just   §§§¨¨§¨§§¨
§¨¨¨§¨¨¨§§  make out the surrounding fields through §¨¨§¨§§§¨§
¨§¨¨§§¨¨§¨                the trees.                ¨§¨§§§¨¨§§

§¨¨§§§§§§¨    my car was black and loud, both the   ¨¨¨¨§¨§§§§
¨§¨§¨¨¨¨¨§   engine and the way the parts didn't    §¨¨¨§§§¨¨¨
¨§§§§¨¨¨¨§     really stick together. i took my     ¨§¨¨§¨¨§¨¨
¨§¨¨¨§¨¨¨§ crimefriend for rides, in the dark, the  §§§¨§§¨§§¨
¨§§¨¨§§¨¨§   eternal dark that seemed to surround   §¨¨§§¨§§¨§
§§¨§¨§¨§¨§   us. she seemed to cast this veil over  ¨§¨§¨§§¨§§
¨¨§§§§§§§§  everything. her black skirt reached to  §§§§§§¨§§¨
¨¨§¨¨¨¨¨¨¨   her knees but then somehow also back   ¨¨¨¨¨¨§§¨§
§¨§§¨¨¨¨¨¨   around, enveloping all my memories of  ¨¨¨¨¨¨§¨§§
¨§§¨§¨¨¨¨¨            our time together.            §¨¨¨¨¨§§§¨

§§§§¨¨§¨¨¨   there was blood everywhere. sometimes  §¨§¨¨¨§§¨§
¨¨¨¨§¨§§¨¨  the blood was her red lipstick or her   §§§§¨¨§¨§§
§¨¨¨§§§¨§¨ checkered shirt. she was on television.  §¨¨¨§¨§§§¨
§§¨¨§¨¨§§§     we did crime, and we made weird      §§¨¨§§§¨¨§
¨¨§¨§§¨§¨¨  structures in the barn, tall pillars of ¨¨§¨§¨¨§¨§
§¨§§§¨§§§¨  dark wood, ladders and plateaus, fires  ¨¨§§§§¨§§§
¨§§¨¨§§¨¨§  and fairy lights. we would sleep there  ¨¨§¨¨¨§§¨¨
¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§ and drink there and she would go in the  ¨¨§§¨¨§¨§¨
¨§§§§§§§§§                television.               ¨¨§¨§¨§§§§

§¨§¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ and then the sun came out, and she went  ¨¨§¨¨¨¨§¨¨
§§§§¨¨¨¨¨¨  away. everything changed... i yearned,  ¨¨§§¨¨¨§§¨
§¨¨¨§¨¨¨¨¨   and the world became dull around me.   ¨¨§¨§¨¨§¨§

§¨¨§§§§§¨¨  necessarry. things somehow seemed like  §¨§§¨¨§¨§¨
§§¨§¨¨¨¨§¨  they were allright, moulded in place,   ¨§§¨§¨§§§§
¨¨§§§¨¨¨§§   and i loathed it ------ i missed her   ¨§¨§§§§¨¨¨

¨§¨¨¨¨¨¨§§    memories of her. not so much of me    §§§¨¨¨¨§¨§
§§§¨¨¨¨¨§¨ either, from the time we were together.  §¨¨§¨¨¨§§§
¨¨¨§¨¨¨¨§§  my mother said i kept to myself in the  §§¨§§¨¨§¨¨

¨§¨§¨¨¨§§§    flashing by on the tv in the barn.    ¨§¨§¨§¨¨§¨
¨§§§§¨¨§¨¨     everything was black then, for a     ¨§§§§§§¨§§
§§¨¨¨§¨§§¨  moment. i remembered her laugh and knew ¨§¨¨¨¨¨§§¨
§¨§¨¨§§§¨§   we had done crimes together, that it   ¨§§¨¨¨¨§¨§

¨¨§¨¨¨§¨§§  while ramming the fence to a military   §¨§§¨¨§¨¨¨
¨¨§§¨¨§§§¨   facility. by this time they had been   §§§¨§¨§§¨¨
¨¨§¨§¨§¨¨§    chasing me for days. i lost control   §¨¨§§§§¨§¨
¨¨§§§§§§¨§   over the car, crashed it into a rock   §§¨§¨¨¨§§§
§¨§¨¨¨¨¨§§     wall and flew out the windshield.    §¨§§§¨¨§¨¨

§¨¨¨§¨¨¨§§   and then i got up, and looked around.  §¨¨§¨§§§¨§
¨§¨¨§§¨¨§¨   it was dark, where it previously had   ¨§¨§§§¨¨§§
§§§¨§¨§¨§§    been a bright day. around me where    §§§§¨¨§¨§¨
§¨¨§§§§§§¨    dozens of crashed cars, all my car,   ¨¨¨¨§¨§§§§

¨¨§§§§§§§§     darkness. i knew the way the sky     §§§§§§¨§§¨
¨¨§¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ touched the ground. this was her doing!  ¨¨¨¨¨¨§§¨§
