We are of the same tribe. We dance to the same rhythm of heartstrings. You make the flowers grow where the Earth is barren. And for that I love you.

I am in a shrinking box surrounded by four quadrants of human pain. They are closing in on me from every angle; I'm getting smaller and smaller as the walls cave in. I take one labored breath afte...
