The Witnesses Log

 

X

 

The Visitors

know many things.

And so do we.

The Visitors

believe

the Listeners

have been here

forever.

But they are wrong.

We were here

before the Listeners came.

When they came,

we changed.

We became Witnesses.

We heard

the Listeners

entering the darkness

in the valley

far beneath us,

we could feel them

moving beneath

the dark folds of light.

This we know.

And this as well:

When we leave,

the Listeners leave.
