Do you really want to send etouffee a message saying you like their work?
It's hard, you know?
she says
meaning, it seems impossible
because it is almost impossible
Yet she wants to believe
and he wants that too
eyes, that search the sky for a star that matches their own
hands, that reach out for a matching set of fingers
two sets of shoulders
It's hard
she says again, then silent
doesn't use the word miracle
doesn't use the other word either
