A Challenge to the Dark [Neapolitan translation]

shot in the eye

shot in the brain

shot in the ass

shot like a flower in the dance

amazing how death wins hands down

amazing how much credence is given to idiot forms of life

amazing how laughter has been drowned out

amazing how viciousness is such a constant

I must soon declare my own war on their war

I must hold to my last piece of ground

I must protect the small space I have made that has allowed me life

my life not their death

my death not their death…
