A girl with her hair
knotted in a braid,
her shirt reading:
This is love

A boy with train
tracks up and down
his arms, wearing
them like tattoos
6
A man with sadness
curled in his spine,
his hands, a warzone.
8
A baby sitting, watching
with the greenest eyes.
11
A woman screaming in
sign language.
14
A man with his hands
tattooed to remember
which is to hold, which
is to be held.
17
A girl hesitating a moment
too long before laughing,
before smiling.
18
A man looking for the next
great adventure, saying:
“Sometimes you just have
to put on your shoes and
go, y’know?”
21
A woman in the bathroom
throwing up in the sink.
23
A grandfather tying his
grandson’s shoes with
shaking fingers.
24
A man bringing flowers
to his wife’s grave.
27
A guy with Palahniuk’s
Fight Club on his lap
saying:
“There’s sadness
everywhere isn’t there?”
29
A teacher after leaving the
room, his head now in his
hands, sighing.
30
A girl singing in the shower,
But it’s all alright, yeah
it’s all alright.
