après moi le déluge // 21 songs for for a boy from a long-shadow legacy, born under stormclouds, just waiting for the rain. for stains on skin and dirt under fingernails that will never come clean, when all the scrubbing just leaves you raw. for empty bottles and shallow graves, a troubled mind and trembling hands, deep sea, and deep sky, and deep down some ghost lights still glowing in spite of it all. for the soft touch of a familiar hand in a dark place, or a flash of gold in an endless black, or a song from somewhere far, far out at sea: something to hold on to, for all that’s worth, in the end. for nathan prescott. you deserved better.
