Hey, Teague... so I was thinking... there's something I want you to hear. Not now. It doesn't even have to be soon. Shit, I almost kind of don't want to cuz it's not... I mean... it's not gonna be so easy, maybe. But see I have this song and someday I want you to hear it. It's the first song I wrote, 20 years ago or something.

It's about dad.

If you don't wanna, that's cool.

So... how's everyone else doing?

	Whenever you feel ready to play it. ...Might break my heart. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh... it will. I'm rethinking this every 5 seconds. Like... jeeze maybe this is just dumb of me to want it either way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, how important is it? I'll never turn down listening to you sing or play, you know that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't really know. It's important. To me. But it's also something I shoulda gotten over caring about before I even wrote it. It may not ever matter. I half suppose it SHOULDN'T. But it does, and always did so... I'm really not explaining this very well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Baggage that would have been better off lost at the airport but always managed to find its way back onto your doorstep. We'll go to the castle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. Just like that. I get these misguided notions that I want you to know who I am or something. You know... because... a lotta reasons that make far more sense when I'm not sober. Like I said, it doesn't have to be any time soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Better late than never, in all ways, Miniver. I'll swing by and pick you up. We'll make a night of it. And sunrise is only a few hours away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Little brother... miniver 2008-04-06 05:28 am UTC (link)
	...if you're sure. I'll bring some booze and blankets, then. It's cold out. Dress for it, okay? Cuz if I break you AND give you pnumonia, I might have to kill myself. Bad enough I'm gonna do this on purpose... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've got some really warm sleeping bags stashed upstairs - I brought them back from my home in California. So long as you can build me up again, it's alright. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What are you then? You seem kind of like a sparrow...

Our hands are hot and raw with the stones we have laid,
We have built a tower of stone high into the sky.
We have built a city of towers.
Our hands are light, they are singing with emptiness.
Our souls are light. They have shaken a burden of hours. . . .
What did we build it for? Was it all a dream? . . .
Ghostly above us in lamplight the towers gleam . . .
And after a while they will fall to dust and rain;
Or else we will tear them down with impatient hands;
And hew rock out of the earth, and build them again.

Maybe it's just like having to break a wall to make a doorway.

So long as you let me, brother, I'll look after you. I promise.

	House of Dust? Really now. Miniver, there are no walls between us that need breaking down. None on my end, anyway, and as you spend more time with me, I see them crumbling away on your end little by little... We'll continue this talk later, alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
