&,&,&,&&,,  YEARNING. A MEMORY OF BEING TOUCHED BY  &,&,&,&,&,
&,&,&,,&,&    A RAY FROM A RASPBERRY SUN. STILL     &,&,&,&,&,
&,&,&,&&,,  THERE, EVERYTHING WOULD BE GRITTY AND   &,&,&,&,&,
&,&,&,,&,&  FULL OF TAR. RAIN UPON IT. BUT THEN A   &,&,&,&,&,
&,&,&,&&,,  FEW BRIGHT AND COLORFUL ANOMALIES. AND  &,&,&,&,&,
&,&,&,,&,&            A PROMISE FOR MORE.           &,&,&,&,&,

&,&,&,&&,,    TIME, CALLING, TUGGING AT MY ARMS.    &,&,&,&,&,
&,&,&,,&,&   BEGGING ME TO SINK BACK DOWN AND BE    &,&,&,&,&,
&,&,&,&&,, WITH THEM, WITH THEIR KIND. EASY TO GET  &,&,&,&,&,
&,&,&,,&,&  WASHED AWAY FROM THE TETHER, FROM THE   &,&,&,&,&,

&,&,&,,&,&    THE WORK MILL AND THEY'VE GOT THEIR   &,&,&,&,&,
