Letter 071224

Dear Ethan Hawke

In Ohio there is a black frog with a star on its back that no one has ever seen. Men trip each other to death.

Letter 062224

Dear Ethan Hawke

I deleted this letter. This is the new one.

Letter 072324 someone smuggled a bone into heaven

Dear Ethan Hawke

Someone smuggled a bone into heaven.

Letter 062824 voiceovers

Dear Ethan Hawke

Nothing creation makes is as ghostless as a baby. If a being needs rest, then a being can get sick, get better, be killed. Pain keeps the body in the past. I drink in the present. 

Letter 071724

Dear Ethan Hawke

I feel I’ve been in the room where I’ll die. My little nod to a flower is god at this hour.

Letter 072524

Dear Ethan Hawke

I am sitting on a diving board with a rabbit in my lap. Most of the rabbit is dead. I try with my shadow to moan through the water. A stillness stretches god.
