Get PDFTrial by Fire
Carved from stone, a body divine,A temple built through trial, through time.Yet sinew cracks where fate has torn,A vessel reshaped, both blessed and worn.

Osbiston shows how class, disability, and bureaucracy can isolate students, but emphasizes motion—found in care, community, and ancestral memory.
