    Shooting Rats at the Bibb County Dump

    Loaded on beer and whiskey, we ride
    to the dump in carloads
    to turn our headlights across the wasted field,
    freeze the startled eyes of rats against mounds of rubbish.

    Shot in the head, they jump only once, lie still
    like dead beer cans.
    Shot in the gut or rump, they writhe and try to burrow
    into garbage, hide in old truck tires,
    rusty oil drums, cardboard boxes scattered across the mounds,
    or else drag themselves on forelegs across our beams of light
    toward the darkness at the edge of the dump.

    It's the light they believe kills.
    We drink and load again, let them crawl
    for all they're worth into the darkness we're headed for.

    You sure are a slow reader. That is at least the second time you posted that.

    Second time reading it. I never finished it the first time, but now we're taking our college service through it at church.

    Welcome, NC
    I'm reading the Thomas Covenant trilogies by Donaldson again. It's been years since I read them and I forgot how good they were. I wish they would make a movie out of them. I guess not enough people read them. Great fantasy stuff.

    I never could get into Thomas Covenant - made it through the first book and part of the second.

    He's such a sad sack character - I was hoping he would just kill himself and get it over with.
