"And if you find yourself caught under the sycamore trees in a sudden rain, drenched and thunderstruck—which would be fine—made breathless by the simplest thing, say yes." I really like "—which would be fine—" because it lend itself to the overarching theme of the prose. Every piece of what you are feeling, no matter how big or small, is just a fact of life-so just let it happen.

Siken never fails to leave me dizzy and lingering in his prose.

'Dizzy' is such a perfect description. Dizzy & undone.
