Two sisters, digging for a heart of gold. Inseparable. Side by side, down a cracked sidewalk on the bad side of town. Hat pulled low over their eyes, peering out from under. Only relying on each other- innumerable scars proving lessons learned.
A dull streetlight shines ahead in the coming dusk- a fine light, a calling light.
All they have done, all things that cannot be forgiven- not anymore. They have lost count long ago how many, but they know it's all too much. They move slowly- crossing an ocean, with only the other by her side- a heart of gold will fix everything sister. Sharp steps in tune down the dusty sidewalk, perfectly in tune- graffiti framing their dark coats in the quick glance you catch, hunched shoulders. But when you look again they have already gone, searching for something just beyond their reach.
They only want to live.

Sorry for the ugly literature tag tacked onto the edge of the picture. Figure it satisfies both the need for image and for the need of showing it also has writing.
