Air Quote by Iqra Iqbal
““Choked Chimney I am a chimney which has been smoked. Out of breath and out of warmth. My air carries murky whispers and inky phantoms. Loneliness lingers in my chamber. Still, I remain standing high in the derecho. Sunlight cannot reach my depths, and moonlight only illuminates my exfoliating rocks.””
