Excerpt from a novel by
D. Ryan Leask
"Brown and white everything and it
began to spin, an emotional tornado
ripping through his consciousness. He
tried to focus on one thing, one thing
that was not brown and white, the green
glow of the bedside clock, but it just
spiraled into the vortex."

/ Nor translate the
scraping of branches
/ Soil fills its mouth
with burning ashes.
