There are places I've lived...

There are places I've lived where only a bullet through the sky would quiet the barking night.

The sound would scatter the hungry raza galgos to distant days.

Hours later, I would search the sea at sunrise for my sleep-saving 3 a.m. slugs, never once seeing them shimmer or shine.

Imagine with me – the befuddled faces of fishermen finding my rounds resting peacefully in the just-opened bellies of their afternoon catch.
