Summary: Post Telling musings from Mr. Wrinkles.
My feet kept drowsing, drowsing still,
My fingers were awake;
Yet why so little sound myself
Unto my seeming make?
Time and Eternity, XXV, Emily Dickinson
Your mind is elsewhere. It spans the distance of two years and all you feel is the sadness of what could have been. That golden ring, symbolizing the albatross called marriage, binding your existence. And you sleepwalk, dozing through the motions, saying the right things, tapping in time to Weiss's mix tape, swiping your key card through endless slot farms.
And you think back to that day when the phone call came. "Sydney's alive."
Simple words tossed out like yesterday's bread crumbs.
Your lips move as if in silent prayer, but your throat closes on the words that try to pass. Dark silent crevasses yawn open, and the pain comes flooding back. "I see."
"We need you at the Hong Kong safehouse." This is not a request, and as usual, Kendall is short on time and manners. "Your plane leaves in an hour."
The sky flames into inky dark night, foretelling the birth of your squawling pink son, entering this world at the exact moment you see her again.
Eyes wide open.
Fists balled in fury.
Awakening from the long sleep.
The End
