Remember the sky? Remember how...

I hope you never wake up. I hope you never find me watching you become a banner I am...

I Would Steal Horses
for you, if there were any left, give a dozen of the best to your father, the automechanic in the small town where you were born and where he will die sometime by dark. I am afraid of his hands, which have rebuilt more of the small parts of this world than I ever will.

Not to mention that besides being a fabulous writer you also seem like one of those lovely sorts of people you could talk for hours over tea with about anything and everything. Anyways, that's allc:
