Elephant | Jason Isbell
I've buried her a thousand times
Giving up my place in line

We just try to ignore the elephant

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
