but the smoke clears
and it is day

and the trees are gone.
And so is Kek.

I start walking,

looking at the blue sky

and the yellow sun.
Hoping that I find

someplace where I am safe.
Someplace where I will see Kek and Lual and Dak again.

I am standing.
Around me, the village burns,

and snow gently falls.

The moon slowly morphs into
the eyes of a dying baby,

before the sky erupts in flames.
The sound of guns is surrounding me,

yet the bullets do no harm, for they turn into snowballs.

Then Dave appears next to me.
He takes my hand, and the surrounding landscape becomes

the snow covered land of dead trees.
Ganwar replaces Dave,

and Gol is on my other side.
