I read four words today. Just four. But their weight stills me. I bow my head and turn them in my hands. What are you asking me? What are you trying to tell me? What do you see? I fold the paper. I close my eyes. Just four words.

I Read Four Words Today
I read four words today. Just four. But their weight stills me. I bow my head and turn them in my hands. What are you asking me? What are you trying to tell me? What do you see? I fold the paper. I close my eyes. Just four words.
