Transcription
Left Side:
on something in my
left leg. Pain again.
Debilitating pain.
Lonely Road.
"I am on a lonely road
and I am traveling."
This work is lonely work.
And I want to go deeper
quieter. Am I still able to?
I need my quiet time.
There was a time

Right Side:
Now it is more like
The tree
is solitary
and it
gives
some broken
limbs.
