Stilheden faldt som aske

Hvor er det hyggeligt
at høre sin kone
snorke, når man
ligger søvnløs efter at
have drukket en dobbelt espresso kl. 19

I rene lagener

Nu bevæger jeg mig for at
skrive, og hun vender sig
og holder op

Jeg vil have en pen
med lys i.

Om ægtefællers lyde i natten:

Ref. 1: Dialog fra Good Will Hunting:

Sean: My wife used to fart when she was nervous. She had all sorts of wonderful little idiosyncrasies. She used to fart in her sleep. I thought I’d share that with you. One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went ‘ah was that you?’ And I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Oh!
Will: She woke herself up?
Sean: Ah...! But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh, she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but they’re not. Ah, that's the good stuff.


~ Robin Williams as Sean Maguire, Matt Damon as Will Hunting.

Ref. 2: The Arcade Fire: "Even the noise you make when you sleep" - linie fra Keep the Car Running (Neon Bible).
(Jeg tror faktisk ikke, det er ægtefællen, "you" refererer til her, men ”man/en selv" - men sådan fortolkede jeg den, før jeg så resten af teksten. Mao. det var den linie, jeg bed mærke i.)
