The Way Home The world shifted its weight when your heart gave out. And my body, it was becoming endless, echoing light. I made the choice to exist on the outskirts of another woman’s life the second I learned this place was burning down. It hurt so much, I knew I would die the same way you did, years later, after I grew old. Once, a wise woman told me I could heal both of us. If only I knew what was inside of me back then. |
