About

You're going back to your seats. To the places you grew up. You're shaking. You're sweating. You swallow. You can't avoid the memories. Some are like colorful paintings. Some are like fist bumps. A child under the communists. The foster parents. The shepherd's hut. And then velvet. And freedom you don't know what to do with. You've fallen a hundred times.

Where your father is waiting for you.
