it was the face. the look in his eyes. the hollow bone in the cheek. the void in the pupil. the soulless color spilling from them. my isaac. my ram in the bush. then it struck me odd, this intimacy. we are bound by ties seen, unseen, and otherwise. the consequences of stillness. the judgement of impulse. the altar of drive and the blade of time, and the children born of it, all the agents of life…
