enj-ol-ras:
- There are moments that the words don’t reach.
- There is suffering too terrible to name.
- You hold your child as tight as you can
and push away the unimaginable.
- The moments when you’re in so deep,
it feels easier to just swim down.
- The Hamiltons move uptown
and learn to live with the unimaginable.
- I spend hours in the garden.
- I walk alone to the store,
and it’s quiet uptown.
- I never liked the quiet before.
- I take the children to church on Sunday,
a sign of the cross at the door,
and I pray.
- That never used to happen before.
- If you see him in the street, walking by
himself, talking to himself,
have pity.
- Philip, you would like it uptown.
It’s quiet uptown.
- He is working through the unimaginable.
- His hair has gone grey.
- He passes every day.
- They say he walks the length of the city.
- You knock me out, I fall apart.
- Can you imagine?
- Look at where we are.
- Look at where we started.
- I know I don’t deserve you, Eliza.
- But hear me out.
- That would be enough.
- If I could spare his life,
If I could trade his life for mine,
he’d be standing here right now
and you would smile, and that would be
enough.
- I don’t pretend to know
the challenges we’re facing.
- I know there’s no replacing what we’ve lost
and you need time.
- But I’m not afraid,
I know who I married.
- Just let me stay here by your side,
That would be enough.
- If you see him in the street, walking by her
side, talking by her side, have pity.
- Eliza, do you like it uptown?
- It’s quiet uptown.
- He is trying to do the unimaginable.
- See them walking in the park, long after dark,
taking in the sights of the city.
- Look around, look around, Eliza.
- They are trying to do the unimaginable.
- There are moments that the words don’t reach.
- There is a grace too powerful to name.
- We push away what we can never understand,
we push away the unimaginable.
- They are standing in the garden,
Alexander by Eliza’s side.
- She takes his hand.
- It’s quiet uptown.
- Forgiveness.
- Can you imagine?
- Forgiveness.
- Can you imagine?
- If you see him in the street, walking by her
side, talking by her side, have pity.
- They are going through the unimaginable.
