The Quietude Of Things, Tathev Simonyan

text id: The table does not wince at grief, nor does the chair care to recall who sat, who wept, whose warmth it stole— its wooden arms embrace them all. The mirror swallows every face, and never even asks for names. It watches bodies turn to dust— cares not for those whose eyes it lost. The clock will offer its two hands to any soul who wills to dance, and it shall turn, and turn again— unphased by love, untouched by pain. The books will whisper blackened words through days of peace, through years of war, to you, your kin, and to your foe— no pledge they made, no oath they owe. The world is built on quiet things, on stone, on glass, on wood, on steel. They do not haste, they do not wait— they simply are, and always will— stood upon hands of time—be still.

the quietude of things, tathev simonyan

THE METEOROLOGIST SAYS SUN One day, stripped of faith, I stopped waiting. I waved goodbye to the woman who ran through the years, like she was always missing a train. Well, it was never coming. I would know, I built that station. I tore up the tracks before I had the inkling to lay on them. Or, that is to say, before they prayed for me in a candlelit room. A cross drawn, a whisper meant to save me. We all want to hear that we’re loved. Or we could be. But all my friends are planting gardens, and I’m a dandelion, wishing for a breath to carry me away. Once, I would have begged to be buried to bloom with the tulips. But the years are getting shorter. I reach for the sun and wait for it to confirm I’m alive. A 6 AM kiss and I’m still here. This morning, I believed the weather report. I tip-toed to the edge and the blood rang in my ears. I opened up my arms — and the world kept spinning.

Decomposing

Her fingers, the wispy breath of young wheat.

An Ohio summer hangs like a warm towel after swimming.

We kickball ideas over the nylon floor of the trampoline;

She recites revisions for her newest novel.

The dank rot of sweet hay and dirt wafts over memories.
