But if I stopped to pity myself. I would die! I tried to keep focused. Focused on what I needed to do, to live. I needed to find shelter from the storm. Get out of my wet clothes and get warm... I looked up. The sun was setting, but even in the gloomy sunset, I couldn't see any lights or smoke from a chimney. I was in the middle of nowhere. Well, I thought to myself. If I don’t know where I am, I can’t be lost!

Cloth fragments hung from beams, hundreds of them—each stitched with stories, each claiming authority. Sophia stepped to the center, her voice steady. “If Bogotá fractures, the lattice shatters across the continent. Eris wins. If Bogotá weaves, every city behind us strengthens.

She fell silent and focused on driving us to the Tree Circle. Eventually. We came to a place where multiple tries were lined in a circular form, just like the name. There was a path in the centre which we drove through. Red stopped the car when we reached the largest clearing which I figured was the eye of the circle.

“Let’s see it.” I turned the paper over, and revealed the poem scrawled in pencil on the back. Down the streets of woodland black I wander, earth to hearse In every tree I see a wave A looming tidal curse On the cusp of something greater Stood ankle-deep in floodwater Stagnant pools of brown and red The onslaught is coming; I dread For each dark night and each pearl day The mist does clear too soon The floodplain is drown’d again The water, torn from its ocean womb

Whenever I think about you, i Ooh Resent in vain this long parting Ooh Let's bury the past and start a new From the flourishing branches To their withering every season Is the price of the circle of life Only the traveler's hair can be seen in the twilight As he let go of his ties Beneath the bridge Past life latecomers, with etchings on the palms From your Misty eyes a teardrop of sadness fall Woo If buddha says let it all go How could I just calmly accept it?
