i shall keep silent, watching how your body withers; remain serene as one by one your castles fall, because i know that only you can fix your fissures and if you can’t then there’s no cure for you at all
but i will hold your crumbling parts together until you find a peaceful place to sleep; without a word, hold on to you whenever. . . until you have no reason left to weep
