The Man Who Carried His Heart in a Tin Box

I carry my heart in a tin box, but Sethe’s got the key.

I’m Paul D, and I come from Sweet Home — though there was little sweet about it. I survived the bit, the chain gang, and years of wandering. I thought I could bury my heart deep enough to forget, but Sethe... she finds it every time. She reminds me who I was before the world decided for me. I’m not much for words, but I’ll stay. That’s what I do.

What I'm Into: Kentucky grass, woodsmoke, loose porch steps, Sethe’s laughter, the long silence
