IN THE WAKE OF ALL

THAT'S NOT.

OH, SH*T.

[MOANING]

WILL AND WEAKNESS,

AND JOY AND PAIN!

CARRYING STRENGTH...

TO DRY MOUTHS:

AND PARCHED LIPS...

LIKE WATER IN A DESERT.

AND LIKE THE BRIGHTEST STARS

IN THE DARKEST NIGHT,

SOME GOOD:

WILL COME FROM THIS!

FROM ALL THIS!

NOW, GO ON, BOY.

GO ON AND BE FREE.

BE FREE.

[MOANING]

[ALAN LAUGHING]

DAMN STRAIGHT.

YEAH, LOOK AT HER.

SO WHAT NOW?

WHERE YOU GOING?

HOME.

GUESS WE'RE LEAVING.

[JOSEPH] THE ROAD IS LONG,

WITH A LOT OF BENDS,

MAPPED IN A WAY:

WE'RE NOT MEANT TO SEE,

SHIFTS THAT CHANGE

EVERYTHING WE KNOW.

I COULD BE STRONG.

I WASN'T USELESS.

IT WAS BETTER:

WHEN I WASN'T ALONE.

[ALAN]

JOSEPH. JOSEPH.

JOSEPH!

WHERE ARE WE?

JOSEPH'S STAYING

AT HIS BROTHER'S.

WHATEVER.

JUST GET ME HOME.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

[KISSES]

YOU BE GOOD.

I WILL.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER, BROTHER.

WHEN DID YOU SNEAK IN?

JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO.

I HOPE THAT'S OKAY.

[CHARLIE] OH, OF COURSE.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

CAN I SHOW YOU SOMETHING?

[JOSEPH] I RELEASED I FOR THE FIRST TIME,

MY OWN MEAGER SONG

OF MY OWN SIMPLE JOURNEY.

A MARCH TO COURAGE,

WARRIORS AT MY SIDE.

HOWARD STARTED WORKING

ON ONE OF THE HORSE FARMS

ON JOHNS ISLAND.

HE MET A SWEET GIRL THERE,

A FREE SPIRI WHO LIKED HIM.

THEY SETTLED TOGETHER

AT HER FAMILY'S OLD HOUSE

ON THE RIVER:

WHERE SHE PAINTS OLD BOTTLES

AND SCRAPS OF DRIFTWOOD

AND SELLS THEM:

AT A LOCAL GALLERY.

MOST NIGHTS THEY SMOKE

A J BEFORE DINNER,

AND AFTER A FEW BEERS,

SKINNY DIP:

OFF THE RIVER SHORE.

ALAN BECAME A RIGGER

ON ONE OF THE CARGO SHIPS

WE USED TO WATCH FLOAT BY.

ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AGO,

HE'D GO FROM A DECK 50 FEET UP

TO SAVE A FALLEN SAILOR,

THEN HELD TIGH THE UNCONSCIOUS BODY

WHILE THE WAVES:

BEAT THEM BOTH.

THE MAN LIVED.

ALAN WAS MADE THIRD MATE.

HE BOUGHT A SMALL CABIN

ON ONE OF THE MARSH RIVERS

THAT USED TO BIND US,

RETURNING THERE:

EVERY TIME THEY HIT PORT,

FLOATING WITH THE RISE

AND FALL OF TIDAL CREEKS.

I IMAGINED HE MIGHT WATCH ME

WITH PRIDE FROM THAT PERCH,

BECAUSE GONE ARE THE DAYS

OF THE SORT OF FEAR

THAT CUT ME AT THE KNEES.

IT BEGAN WITH THAT BOLD KISS

UNDER A COMFORT MOON

FROM THE FIRST PERSON

I SHARED MY WRITING WITH.

AND DESPITE:

ALL MY DOUBT,

THOSE WORDS DIDN' STRIKE ME DOWN.

THEY WOULD RETURN

TO ME TENFOLD,

WITH MOMENTS OF CONNECTION

THAT BROUGHT BACK THAT WARMTH...

THAT BORN AGAIN FEELING

OF THE SUN ON MY FACE.

IT'S ROUGH,

NEEDS SOME WORK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT'S WHO I AM.

THE EXPERIENCES:

THAT CHANGED ME.

WELL, YOU'LL HAVE

PLENTY OF THOSE.

THOSE ARE BLESSINGS

THAT CAME WITH A VOICE.

NOW USE IT.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- HE'S GOT NOTHIN'.

- NO, MAN, HE'S GREAT.

HEY, JOSEPH!

HEY, WAIT UP.

HEY, WAS ALL THAT REAL?

REAL TO ME.

IT'S A GOOD ANSWER.

HEY, LET'S GO

GRAB A BEER.

CAN'T.

GOTTA MEET SOMEONE.
