in which peet has a look around fyn gula's house





i couldn't help but look around the house since espoir was busy watching more films. and so i ventured about.

the walls were a gallery of photos, paintings, drawings, posters, and writings. on the back of a door he had taken bright red paint and wrote these words:

"i will build a ladder
into the sky one rung at a time
climbing hand over foot
reaching for air

i have fallen to the ground more than once

once i laid unconscious
and when i woke
i swear i'm not hurt
oh i am hurt

i'm dazed and convinced
that pain is only a whisper
unable to be heard
above the hoarse-throated singing

we are not yet birds"

i wondered if that's why he looked at me like that.
