It's Been A While

Diary entry, Oscar Lowe

"It seems that sometimes one must force oneself to see the brighter side. Even when everything around you is set ablaze. Even when day is a constant night and your companions are simply spectral whisps. Yes, even then, and especially then, you must find the one tiny feather floating towards the earth, whole, perfect. What am I writing? This is madness and pathetic self-sympathizing."

-No signature, no date, partially scratched out

(indeciperable title)
I set aflame a city here
Inside my room my toppled tiers
They fell quite unassumed, unexcited yet entombed
In the memories of my days far long past.

-Oscar Lowe
