Abstract

e down to my knees.</p><p id="694d">I’ll remain here irreversibly undone.</p><p id="fc00">This defeat has been long in the making; let the enemy make a home in the ruins of me.</p><p id="2772">Let the dust settle — let people forget my name and face; it shall be as if there was never a body that carried my heart and art.</p><p id="592f">I never <i>was…</i></p><p id="4f4d">But, should the day arrive when a single calla lily decides to spring into life from the cold site of my downfall, let her blossom and be plentiful, let her have what I could not, let her live in stillness and reach out for the sunlight until the end of days comes to ravish it all.</p><div id="a588" class="link-block"> <a href="https://readmedium.com/this-is-life-47971feb3363"> <div> <div> <h2>This Is Life</h2>
