¤¨@,@¨#.#¨ only at night. long ago, someone here @..£¨§¨,£,
@.£,#,£.&¨ must've angered the sun, and today it £¨§@.§.#§.
¤¨#¨@,&¨£¨ still burns us strangely. but with the §,,£,£¨,&.

@¨@,#¨§.&¨ 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 &,.@.£¨¨@.

£.@¨§¨£.#, too quick, spilling all my notes on the #¨#&.§¨&¤.
