TEXT:

Catching the last glimpse of sunlight. You wait.

Your curves and wrinkles and marks take me by surprise.

Your skin cool to the touch.

A spider has left behind the traces of its passing.

Your feet are strong and keep you steady on the wet earth. This way you don’t get lost, do you?

In you I see strength. Can you teach me how?

In you I see perseverance. Can you teach me how?

In you I see resilience. Can you teach me how?

In you I see fragility. Can you teach me how?

In you I see a new life. Can you teach me how?

You know how to get through the stormy weather. Can you teach me how?

Well, in any case I appreciate your company. It’s just nice not to be alone.

And you know how to keep a secret.

We are out here, on our own. But we’ll keep trying.

And trying.

It’s going to be a long journey. But you’ll lead the way.

You’ll lead the way, won’t you?
