He fell asleep with his face on a pillow in the middle of the room, white down feathers are everywhere. I’m at the bottom of the stairs with his bowl of water and my perpetual white flag. I brought a pair of shears.

In the end I bite my tongue until I can taste the rust of those shears, and I go back to bed.
