Hendrick Loved Indulging
- smiling slightly as he spoke
- gloomily grand and savagely vexed
- and then later, we swooned
- shower of fragments and woodlice and decay
- indulging in the luxury
Hendrick loved indulging in the luxury of genuine materials, smiling slightly as he spoke of how authenticity had often led him to unexpected stimulation, like the gloomily grand and savagely vexed old half-timber cottage he bought sight-unseen, only to have the roof fall in on him in a shower of fragments and woodlice and decay the first night he slept there, him without me, that part of the memory dimming his smile and prompting me to guide him to the divan where we spooned, and then later, we swooned.
