One of those times was when I graduated from middle school and wasn’t awarded for keeping straight A’s all year. That year, I only…

life it breathes into the world, the people it nourishes…and I think of how I cannot be a part of it. The dry fingers of a desert wind beckon for me to cross over the balcony ledge into nothing, but I ignore its invitation for the moment, taking my time to contemplate the inevitable future that awaits me.
