“I pause as the clocks from Mother’s collection sound the hour. From every room come staggered chimes, cuckoos calling out. A moment later, the sound of ticking. The house a metronome. We are empty, as if our insides have been carved out. That is what death does, I think. It makes us into ticking clocks, in need of winding, hollow and mechanized.” MourningFuneralHollow And MechanizedIn Need Of Winding Book:Someone You Love Is Gone Source: Someone You Love Is Gone
