To his left, the panelaks (apartment blocks) rose like jagged teeth against a bruised purple sky. He saw a shadow duck into an alleyway and felt a kinship with it. Out here, you were either the hunter, the prey, or the poet documenting the collision. He was the latter, though his ink was often mixed with bile.

It was the only thing that didn't give way when life got heavy.
