unsound
raze
i
can
feel
warm
water
bulging
beneath
my
feet
.
i
stand
on
unsound steel
to
cross
this
roiling
river
.
in
a
building
that
knows
me
better
than
i
know
myself
,
there's
a
room
filled
with
cross
-legged
children
.
eyes
closed
.
faces
flush
against
the
floor
.
a
door
behind
a
desk
leads
to
another
door
.
i
don't
dare
open
it
for
fear
of
what
i
might
find
on
the
other
side
.
it's
enough
to
hear
the
voices
that
carry
through
chinks
in
the
alder's armour.
they
tell
me
everything
i
hope
to
hear
but
can't
believe
is
true
.
