Everything I know about leaving cages.

Some look to the sky, to a book, to a screen. My father, he finds his answers in the dirt. 

My mother is the seam of a dress unraveling. It’s a classic dress, a comfortable one. It’s the dress you wear when you want to feel closer to home.

​And Harley, she is my first true love. She has taught me everything I know about leaving cages.
