I collapse into a heap, my head crunches against the hard, hard ground….Days have passed, years have passed – that’s what it feels like. When I wake up in the soft, cold arms of the night, the ground smells sweet. I am the night now, staring down at the endless land, in the safe darkness away from the burning sun.
