the keeper of fragile things







.

 


Cease trembling and shaking and gasping
and cursing and find again your core which I am. 

Rest from twistedness, distortion, deformations.  

For an hour you will be me; that is, the other 
half of yourself. The half you lost.  

What you burnt, broke, and tore is still in my hands: 

I am the keeper of fragile things 
and I have kept of you what is indissoluble. 


—Anaïs Nin
