There is, I think, a profound grief in choosing life over death. Referencing after, of course: when the bottle drops, when the barrel falls, and the pills scatter. The storm languishes, then; replete of rain, far from hollow; a restless stomach, unsatisfied despite fulfillment.

What Might Have Been
There is, I think, a profound grief in choosing life over death. Referencing after, of course: when the bottle drops, when the barrel falls, and the pills scatter. The storm languishes, then; replete of rain, far from hollow; a restless stomach, unsatisfied despite fulfillment.
