They Live By Night

Short At Best


A fighter's life is short at best,
No time to waste ;
No time to rest.
The spot light shifts :
The clock ticks fast :
All youth becomes old age at last.
All fighters weaken

Colorless Surroundings


        Melville's style remains haunting and elegantly spare, just right for the kind of hit man who lives in silence, in bare and colorless surroundings, with a lonely caged bird.
