“There will be such an awful beauty in your heart. A wound like a seal upon it. It will lie over all the cracked and hard city like a soft, bright-colored film. Your own face overlaid with the face you wore when you were with me in the mountains. A brighter face, a younger face, a soft one that mirrors the weather. You’ll read books—little paperbacks—looking for the kind of sentence that keeps the wound alive. And you must keep it alive. Don’t you ever forget this hurt. Don’t you ever forget what you’ve seen with me. It will save you. You’ll be like an apple tree among all the ash-colored buildings of that granite city. Close your eyes. Turn away from the book in your lap, turn away from the sounds of everyone around you. Take a slow deep breath. Listen. It’s the sound of the wind rushing through the box elder outside our window. It’s the sound of me whispering. I’ll be with you this way.”

A sentence that will carry, he hopes, as if it were the wind, as if there were seeds of rush and blue-eyed grass upon it. As if the alphabet could reset his bones, or restart his life”
