01 · The line

Unmarked

A sentence people keep. No name on it yet.

  1. Facts

    Tell me the facts and I will learn.

  2. Truth

    Tell me the truth and I will believe.

  3. Story

    Tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.

It sounds old. It sounds true. It sounds like something a people would keep.

Not with who said it, and not with what it proves. With the fact that the line survived.

A candle flame and a ribbon of breath in cold dark
