"There is no pain.
Just atoms becoming humans and picnics, lovers and stars.
And then something else. And sometimes it feels
like
if the wind blew too hard, it'd take us all with it. You don't
have to close your eyes. There is no pain. Just atoms
becoming the blood that pumps through your heart and the
knot in your throat, the clouds above us and air
inside
your lungs. There's nothing to cry about. There is no pain.
Just the light from distant suns and flocks of birds.
The
sensation of time passing. Waves against the sky. Those
shudders that run through your body, aren't there.
Your nose isn't blocked. There is no pain."
