LOOK AT THIS BADASS.
It’s his 203rd birthday today.
For decades, on his birthday, a half-full bottle of brandy and a red rose appeared on his grave. No one knew who put it there.
so they investigated.
it was just some random guy. the word got out and soon people were camping out to see the mysterious man deliver the gifts.
one year, however, there was a note.
it said that the man was getting old, and his son would soon take over.
a few years later, the gifts stopped.
ALTHOUGH WE CAN’T GO TO HIS GRAVE AT THE MOMENT, CAN WE PLEASE GIVE MR. POE SOME ROSES?
4 FOR YOU, POEPOE. YOU GO, POEPOE.
and let’s get some brandy up in here??
that’s much better.
happy birthday, Mr. Poe.
QUOTH THE RAVEN,
LET’S PARTY.
HEY GUYS.
EA POE’S BIRTHDAY IS ALSO TODAY. WE SHARE BIRTHDAYS. HE’S MY SPIRIT ANIMAL BTW.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EA POE!

Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you’re there.
