In this flat setting, humans,

like letters, stand out.

Perspective accounts are being written

all throughout the country.

Settlements are like punctuation marks

where lives collide,

like the rivers and mountains,

the ancient ink of the Earth.

Huge oceans, and an ink-black sea,

shroud a multitude of unexplored lands.

Our stories stem from the Earth’s surface.

In an incomprehensible universe.
