Nick Flynn Quote
If it had been a heart attack, the newspapermight have used the word ,as if a mountain range had openedinside her, but insteadit used the word , a light coming onin an empty room. The telephonefell from my shoulder, a black parrot repeatinga sunday, dusky. If it had been, we could have cradled heras she grew smaller, wiped her mouth,said good-bye. But it was ,how overnight we could be orphaned
