The Pathway

Black dust rises around her, covering her feet and taking her legs.
She knows where to go but the crisp surge of sunlight brings her to a halt, it wheezes and pants.
She gulps.
It already has something to say, she teeters on her toes wondering whether she can stomach the anger, and act crazy enough that when she hits the next stop she won't explode.
Somehow there is always something she regrets.
