i am your comfort. i hold you. i let you go. i am true to you. i am a secret. i explain everything. i seduce you. you lose yourself. i am what you have lost. your elusive past. your fleeting present. your irresistible future. i am the little things in life. and the big things.
i am lyrical.
i am logical.
i am steady.
i am faithless.
i am prosaic.
i am poetic.
i am hard.
i am tender.

i am the voice of reason.

of sanity.
of history.

i will sing you an aria.

-Lynne Tillman
