sometimes icecream feels like a warm winter day in Alabama, in January and I think about the blonde angel sitting in mexico painting to heal, and healing to paint.

She slit the cloth with splintered glass and didn't notice her tender finger's blood because bleeding doesn't matter when you are making wings for your own death.
