Death decided -| to congratulate him. He had his trumpet in his hand. - -[himself in the mirror]: moongone.html -[with dead eyes]: big-dipper.html -[tomato on the vine]: wallpaper.html -[the metaphor was]: leaf.html -[missed a spot]: january.html -[kitchen blinds like smoke]: what-we-are-made-of.html -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
