the sunlight bent

I glanced at her and took my glasses 
off—they were still singing. They buzzed 
like a locust on the coffee table and then 
ceased. Her voice belled forth, and the 
sunlight bent. I felt the ceiling arch, and 
knew that nails up there took a new grip 
on whatever they touched. “I am your own 
way of looking at things,” she said. “When 
you allow me to live with you, every 
glance at the world around you will be 
a sort of salvation.” And I took her hand.
