I
left
Calgary
and
drove
to
Drumheller
this
evening
.
Most
of
my
travel
was
spent
cursing
the
oncoming
bright
lights
of
the
semis
that
were
drenching
my
tiny
vehicle
in
water
.
"
I
might
die
tonight
,"
I
said
on
more
than
one
occasion
to
the
no
one
accompanying
me
in
my
car
.
I
didn't
.
But
parts
of
me
are
dying
--that's
why
I'm
here
.
I
was
amused
that
the
wifi password
for
my
room
is
'came2empty'.
It's
as
if
they
knew
that
the
sole
purpose
of
my
lonely
and
wretched
drive
to
this
desert
was
to
empty
my
heart
.
A
veritable purging
of
my
soul
to
find
whatever
is
left
at
the
base
of
my
existence
and
to
begin
again
from
that
point
.
I
need
to
break
it
all
and
then
commit
to
reassembling
the
pieces
into
a
corporeal
form
that
has
direction
when
walking
.
I
need
motion
to
stave
of
this
stagnancy.
I
owe
everything
to
these
sedimentary hills--they
take
the
parts
of
me
I
can
no
longer
carry
.
Tomorrow
we'll
wake
together
,
and
I'll
give
them
my
tears
once
more
.
