The Canonist |
|
When the structure collapsed, we saw how hollow it had become. Feeding on itself, nourished by its inner core. We walked through the ruins, sifting and sorting. A man holding up tatters, a woman calling out names. We sifted and sorted. One by one the others turned into the outland, scattering across the barren. I took a few smaller pieces and set them in a place. I was not going to leave. I could see what I was collecting would be enough. |
