disrepair
raze
there
was
a
crack
in
the
window
of
his
house
.
the
window
looked
out
on
a
past
he
hadn't
been
a
part
of
.
a
past
he'd
been
born
too
late
to
live
through
.
from
the
place
where
the
glass
was
at
war
with
itself
he
watched
an
elegant
city
crumble
.
he
fell
to
his
knees
and
wept
the
tears
of
a
coward
.
he
arranged
the
clutter
on
someone
else's
bed
into
neater piles, destroying
the
logic
inherent
in
the
mess
.
he
climbed
onto
the
mattress
as
if
it
was
his
own
and
took
a
drag
from
a
stick
of
clove dipped
in
mud
,
thin
smoke
trailing
off
of
the
tip.
it
smelled
like
death
.
