• when i run out of paper on this page
    i will turn the page over.

    when i fill both sides of the page, i will get another.

    when i burn through all paper, i will dry goatskin parchment.

    when goats' blood runs dry, i will carve my words in stone.

    when the scarred stones cry for mercy, i will write me in the sand.

    when the sand chokes out seafoam, i will scrawl in the sky.

    when the world overflows with my words, i am emptied, i will die.
