I'd hoped to have left a trail of crumbs to map my imminent return but either the birds have had their fill or my wretched hands have forgotten. And though the steps I take are full, it seems as though I have not allowed the whole of my foot to kiss the ground; I will not succumb to that place. I will not belong to that place. The trees would weep to remember my face.

No Way Home
I'd hoped to have left a trail of crumbs to map my imminent return but either the birds have had their fill or my wretched hands have forgotten. And though the steps I take are full, it seems as though I have not allowed the whole of my foot to kiss the ground; I will not succumb to that place. I will not belong to that place. The trees would weep to remember my face.
