People pay him to turn fear into art.
A reader learns the rain is memory made liquid.
She learns patience while waiting for forgiveness.
Every truth she sang cut her throat a little more.
A child returns warmth to the earth at the cost of her life.
Each turn of his key changes the rhythm of the oceans.
Her wish traps the breeze and the world forgets how to breathe.

His murals restore emotions people didn’t know they’d lost.
