& (thirty-six)

by J.A. Tyler

This will be the story of longing and windless sails. There are no sails. There was and is only a man who, having viewed her everyday as she walked and nodded to his denim and buttons, failed. This will be the story of that failure, that longing turned into nothing, perched in a tree outside his window. Cawing in the voice of crows, the windless gray of the clouds as he dies, losing breath. This will be the story of how that comes to be or is, how these thing turn in on themselves and sink, simple ships on dust.
