Jour 28

Pour compléter le mois, la finale de Crossroads (1993). Pour toutes ces fois où la voix de Tom déploie une éloquence qui va droit dans le cœur, afin d'y réconforter ce qui, justement, ne trouve parfois pas les mots ou la voix nécessaire.

Jour 27

somehow I forget every time
For all the things that
you've given me
will always stay
broken but I'll never throw them away.

and the fence posts in the moonlight look like bones.
