Eleven Summers
Collected
The story
Eleven notebooks, one per year of a childhood, kept in a tin trunk until the paper turned the colour of weak tea.
Each petal is a single folded page, sealed and sanded until it behaves like wood.
Sketches
Studies, most of them abandoned.

This one found its home. The next will not resemble it.
