here

I am here! (in this land you loved).

Streets leap and surge. Smiles explode and and pain chokes. Life is lived!and mute is discarded.

Pounding sun distorts and ancient winds blow hot (calling you back). And for just a moment, seized by this place where lives are lived a.thousand.times.over, I almost hear your whispered reply.

Cool tiles calm. Mint tea soothes. And spices smell just as they did when it was you and me.
