kathy
and
i
were
watching
'
eternal
sunshine
of
the
spotless mind'
and
she
fell
asleep
in
the
chair
next
to
the
fire
while
i
watched
on
.
unspeakable
beauty
,
she
was
, unmoving, barely
breathing
,
and
only
the
pink
in
her
cheeks
to
know
she
was
alive
. nestled
like
one
at
complete
rest
in
the
comfort
provided,
in
a
life
that
is
both
lovely
and
terrifying.
still
like
a
bird
sitting
on
a
piece
of
wood
upon
a
turbulent
ocean
.
i
felt
an
irresistable
urge
to
bow
down
to
the
god
who
holds
us
together
by
these
gossamer
strings
,
many
of
them
that
become
entangled
and
eventully
tear
away
to
hang
and
blow
in
the
wind
.
others
that
we
strum
to
create
a
music
only
we
can
hear
.
yet
,
i
just
tried
to
be
quiet
so
she
wouldn't
wake
.

moments
we

hold
this
delicate
balance
,
a
slippery
fish
, flopping
out
of
our
grasp
upon
the

of
