@.#¤.&¨¨§¨ 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 §,¤¨§£,&¨&
¤¨#&¨¤¨¨@¨ drawing of a muscle cow, but i could £¨#.¨£,§,.
@..#,@,#&. care less right now. ¤,@,§#.&¨&
&,&§.¤,.§. &¨§,,§.£.¨
