A close photograph of a black script quote, reading Every storm runs out of rain, curving across the outer upper thigh. The cursive lettering has smooth, consistent linework with some heavier strokes, and the ink is solid black on warm brown skin. A pink garment covers the top of the frame and a light quilted bedspread fills the lower area, with the lettering as the clear focal point.

You stood up, stiff, and the mule shook its ears and started forward too, as if it had been waiting for exactly that. In the rut ahead, every stone held a small bright sky. You stepped over them one by one until the last puddle was only a shine on the track, with the blue showing through.
