The tradition of the dotted line: 

admin.

Sentence be shot
Sentence, to exile.

stasis of each camp.

On the basis of lists it's curtains
in the courtyard.
Jam

Jam
at the gates.
Red in black at every entrance,
Judas holes in every wall you
Thought maybe those words you
Thought were yours but now they eat you
now they eat you now they
Bring you and they x you in
your faces dotted lines every time
& no not
even the dead are safe.
