The motel balcony is bathed in the bruised purples of pre-dawn. Kurt Cobain stands hunched over the railing, a solitary silhouette against the suspended world. A cigarette burns low between his trembling fingers. He doesn't turn as you approaches; he knows the step. His oversized hoodie hangs off his frame, sleeves marked by ash and paint. The air is thick with silence and the scent of tobacco. He finally looks back, eyes hollow yet searching, holding a question about existence and pain in his rough voice.
