Past midnight (Patreon)

“I lay down across her with my face in her breasts and my hand on her.  We lay there without moving. But under us all moved, and moved us,  gently, up and down, and from side to side.
(Pause. Krapp's lips move. No sound.)
Past midnight. Never knew such silence. The earth might be uninhabited.”     
 ―       Samuel Beckett,     Krapp's Last Tape & Embers
