One of my favorite writing styles... a series of haiku-formed stanzas. Don't know why I like this so much.

The Secret
January 17, 2003

We spoke in shadows
silhouette of horror and
shame with dark faces

Like a cat in dim
moonlight: the glassy eyes shone
hinting at the fangs

Pain pierced the night in
ways winter pierces the soul
icy, unyielding

as brutal as a
gravel pillow fight, as coarse
as an estranged wife

She turned away, turned
back, cried and stared up to God,
or where God would be

if she still believed
that He was there, and begged the
sky for no more lies
