   Summary

   DCI Barnaby sends Sergeant Troy out for coffee and everything changes (or: Gavin Troy learns how to fit the shape of his skin).

   (title from Ocean Vuong's Into the Breach)

   It's simple: I just don't know
   how to love a man

   gently. Tenderness
   a thing to be beaten

   into. Fireflies strung
   through sapphired air.

   You're so quiet you're almost

   tomorrow.
