Book Cover & Preview Text
I wander through the dim world. I climb the walls to find the slimy growths to feed my hunger. I have no energy for the womb. There is no completion. I feel loneliness and pain. No sharing--no bonding--no Lavender Sea of foam--no white sand--no seas of luscious grain--no birth canal--no sun, or rain, or flying, or pink sand, or thrumming fulfill my life. I am lost in a void. Where are my wings? Where is the little one who shares? Where is my world? Where is my life? I live in the memories of my parents. I escaped from the bonds of the shell. Where was the warm water? I squirmed toward the east to find the sea of grain but only bumped against hard stone. I rose toward the light, but there was no light. I searched and found light, but the light was so weak. My sixty sleeps of gathering have turned into twenty-eight thousand and eight hundred sleeps. Some sleeps are so cold that my body will no longer move along the rough, frigid stone. Has my world ended? My parents feared it. Has my life ended without continuing? My parents feared it. They knew the children would not return as adults. I am doomed to eternal childhood in the void. I want to SHARE! I AM A WING!
