WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

Murder

What words are there?
What can express the cavernous illogicality
Of a murder?
To take a knife
To take a gun
To take a life.
Is there any way of understanding?
Is it just random happenstance?
So futile
So short-sighted, yet so far reaching.
Effects far across geography and genealogy.
Thousands of feelings torn.
And for what?
