Standing on a tower
Trying my hardest to make it
To you but I built this tower
Out of mortal bricks
They’re breaking
I truly will surrender
My pretender
My disguise
And I’ll truly start to
Render to your splendor
So it’s time to say goodbye

Wait up, Mom! Shomili, a four-month old greater one-horned rhinoceros runs behind her mother Sundari at San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Shomili, or “Mili” as zookeepers call her, was released into the park’s Asian Savanna habitat to join the rest of the zoo’s herd on April 23, 2013. Mili is the 65th greater one-horned rhino born at the zoo, which is working to conserve this endangered species. Only about 3,400 of these rhinos survive in the wild.
I said nothing for a time, just ran my fingertips along the edge of the human-shaped emptiness that had been left inside me.
