That led us to a weathered windowsill.

‘Everything’s as she left it when she died....’”

Were really as dark as I hear sages tell,
And I convinced that they were really sages,
I should not curse myself with it to hell....”

An ideal one-girl farm,
And give you a chance to put some strength
On your slim-jim arm.’”
