I won’t ever see you again. Where will you go? What will you be? I think of Aeneus going to look for his dead father in the Elysian Fields and how when he finds him, he weeps as he tries to touch him, to hold him. Three times he tries and fails. His father is nothing more than a light wind in his arms.

I can hear how tired he is. I have the impulse to launch a real argument, or tirade, about men, and their ignorance of women’s lived experiences and how we cope with so much they cannot understand, but they always make us feel in some sort of debt. But he might only get a few hours sleep if Jack has a bad night, and Silas is the exception to the rule, so I let it go.
