Language. The spoken word. Time heals all wounds�the burning never fades. People say it�s what sets us apart from animals. That, and birth control. Hunger, longing�oh, how your need invades. As defined by the dictionary: �audible, articulate, meaningful sound as produced by the action of the vocal organs.� Hot dark water falls�morning brings no light. Desolation in a breath, glory in a gasp, power lurking in music that can rip a soul from its body. Hell-bent, road calls�as you give up the fight. "I�ll be back for these." Walk away from me. Don�t look back. It�s what you do best. �So I try to say goodbye my friend�I'd like to leave you with something warm�
