Last Midnight By May Lishen

The Rising Phoenix Review

March 30

We walked around Lake of the Isles last midnight. I
asked her when she felt most alive, and she said in
the silence, so I said, we can just be silent for a
moment then, and we were, and we looked out at the
nearly-frozen lake, sky bright and white behind
frosted branches. I joked that NASA must have
cloned the sun and hid it behind those clouds,
because that's how bright it was. She paused,
looked up, smiled, and said, no, it's a white curtain,
and behind it God's up late working. I'm not telling
this story chronologically, this was an earlier moment, before
the shared silence, still a holy moment, but a
different kind of holy, a lighter kind of holy –
anyways, what I meant to get to was this – so we
stood there, and my breath slowed, and I wasn't
looking at her, and I couldn't hear her inhales and
exhales, but I knew, without looking, that her breath
had slowed, too.  And I think that's the simplest
definition of spirituality, knowing something
without any measurable proof. Somehow, in the
middle of the city, it was perfectly quiet, and
perfectly still.  I turned to her and whispered
(because it would have been a violation to speak too
loudly, like we were at church, and the lake was a
priest I didn't want to speak over) sometimes, lately,
I've been getting this feeling – that this life, as
terrible and boring as it can be, is something that I
am glad to have. She said, me too.
