Belle époque

She wrote down the names of all the places she had been. Six hundred and seventy-one different ways to spell happiness. But everything shines under the sun. So she buried them in the earth and cried over each of the graves. Only one rached up out of the dirty, only one grew and blossomed and bore fruit. Then she knew which was her true home, and her real soul would find its way back.
