A Life
If we only lived for a day, how would you spend it?
Afire at dawn, dreams
play tag at noon before dusk
lets stars retrieve us.

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.

I really quite enjoy all of these visuals. I would have no clue where to even start answering that question. I do find myself getting hung up on the double plural. Other than that, this is super solid work.
That is awesome! Love the thought behind it and your beautifully-chosen words!
