The Empress

Why stay, when to breathe polluted air is to condemn your lungs?

Why stay, when to walk on hot coals ensures that every next step will burn?

If we, as people, seek water,

why do we always land at a mirage?

Hello.

Are you awake?

Now, are you sure?

Completely

sure?

Every day we breathe

inhale

are they short gasps that come and go before you can manage to say that it is

okay?

because it is okay

I hope I've told you this. I know I've told you this. I know I'm sappy and  being too sugary can make us sick, but it's Thanksgiving, 2024, and our first one to say the least.
