Still Life with Beads



It is a still life and still, life.

I love the energy in your house, she said, over the books, the papers, the love whoring dog, her nails on the floor, clicking. Sophie runs her delicate hands through the beads, clicking, clicking.

You're so calm, they say, you're always so calm.
