Chapter Text
There is a tree.
It sits atop this hill.
It’s wood is pale.
It’s leaves are red.
Isn’t it beautiful.
Listen to the leaves.
Hear them whisper.
Your ears prick, perk, strain,
they rustle.
Look up to the sky.
See those stars?
They’re countless, boundless.
The sky stretches, it’s desperate to keep them.
The moonlight flickers.
It blinks, laughs.
Look down, look down.
Past the fog. Past the trees. Past the hills, the roads, the walls. Do you see it?
The starlight glitters, mournful eyes.
That was home once.
