A recorded reading of “The Printed Heart”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
The rabbit wears its bones on the outside: white ribs on black cloth, a red heart printed above them. A hand holds it at the waist. Beside it, the grey bear wears pink at its knees. Across the table, carved faces keep the shapes cut into them. The rabbit's ears have gone soft against somebody's sleeve. The red heart does not keep time. A hand stays open under the ribs.
