A Murder of One #4
Bryce Fields
I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there counting crows
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for girls and four for boys
Five for silver
Six for gold and
Seven for a secret never to be told
There's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in
All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
Open up your eyes
You can see the flames
of your wasted life
You should be ashamed
You don't want to waste your life
-- selected verses from "A Murder of One" by the Counting Crows

The elements for the next bout of fun are as follows:
1 - a hand
2 - applied tape
3 - intense color
I think we can all understand the first element, a hand. We're talking about the gripping implement commonly found at the working end of the human arm. In its standard form, it consists of four fingers, a thumb and a palm. We mean a human hand...not a paw, not a forefoot, not a claw. A hand.
The second element, applied tape, shouldn't be as abstruse as it initially sounds. By "tape" we mean a strip of material designed to adhere to a surface. Not audio tape, not video tape...tape that sticks. Applied tape is tape that is actually adhering to something. In other words, we want the tape stuck to something, or something stuck to the tape. We want to see adhering taking place. We don't care what sort of tape you use, only that you make sure its involved in some sticking.
The final element is intense color. Powerful color. Deep, extreme, super-saturated, acute, passionate, keen and ardent color. How you achieve that intensity is up to you.
