#,§,£.&.#, as we cross the mountain, we can walk #¨£¨#¨@¨£,
¤¨&,@,¤,£¨ only at night. long ago, someone here §.£,£¨¤.¤,
£,£¨@,@,&. must've angered the sun, and today it §¨#.&.¤.@,
&,£,#¨£.@. still burns us strangely. but with the §¨£,£.£¨§,
&¨¤.£.@.£¨ sunset the air comes raining back down £,#¨&.§,¤,
£,&.£¨&.&¨ and gets thick enough to breathe. it §,&,@.¤¨&,
&.#,&,§.£, carries with it smells from far away, &,£.#.&¨¤.
&.&,#.£.&, colourful sparks for the imagination, a @¨¤,&¨§¨¤,

£,¤.@,&.#. my greatest treasure, the #,#,@,&¨&.
§¨&,£¨§.@¨ book of stars, is a combined map, @,@,&,&,@.
£.#¨§,§,§. calendar and timepiece as long as you #¨&.§,&.£¨
@.#.§,§,@¨ know what year it is. every page is a ¤¨#¨#,@.#¨
&,@.§,&¨@, grid of nine starfields, hand drawn, §.§,@,§¨&.
£¨#.£¨£,#. below which are written coordinates in @.¤,¤,&¨£,
@,&,@.£.&, both space and time. a lot of it is §,&.¤,§.£.
&.@,¤.@¨£¨ applicable on earth, but not all. it §.¤,£.@¨#.
¤.#,¤¨§¨@. hints of other places - some stars £.§,&,§¨¤,
&.#.#,#¨¤, reordered, some names i have never @.&.@.#.§¨
£,@.#¨£,¤, heard. sometimes the dates are §.@.&¨@.§,
£,#.¤,@,§, impossible. @.£,¤.&.£¨
#.¤¨£,#,#¨ #.@.¤.£.¤,
#¨¤,¤,@¨§. those pages are exactly what i scramble #.¤.£¨£.#¨
£¨§¨§.£.§, for right now. i've stopped breathing. @.£,&,&.§.
@.£¨§.¤,@. i sling open the book of stars a bit £,£,¤.@,£¨
§,&,¤,@¨§¨ too quick, spilling all my notes on the £,§¨#,¤.@,
#¨¤.@,£,@, ground. one lands on my foot, it is a @¨¤¨§.&.&.
