"but in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself"

—Albert Camus

Any tremble

through the trees

contrary

to the first

wind, the

next wind,

or no wind:

always afraid,

so afraid

to simply be,

with no

definition,

with no

place to go,

no

walls left to build,

no excuse

left to believe,

no end;

then again,

no end.
