Falling from the sun
I woke at 8:30 and tried to sit up. My body was gelatinous and my eyes were wild and loose in my head. The sun shone on my face. I swung my arm to steady myself and couldn’t grab hold of the bed. I fell to the side. I resolved to fall asleep and try again. Some minutes later I woke and the same thing happened. This time I managed to stand, but immediately fell over. I dreamt that you were...

“Let’s watch something happy”
“Philadelphia? Tom Hanks has AIDS!”
“Is that happy?”
“What? No”
“It could still be happy”
Throwing a party:
“Should we get food?”
“I mean, it’ll go so quickly and you’ll get one asshole just standing there eating it all and no one else will get any”
“And that person will be me”
“No food then”

She was a sucker for sunsets and MDMA. She disappeared at 8pm and came back at 2am, knocking on the door a hundred times quietly, slurring, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Then, “I love you,” to her boyfriend who got up to let her in. He waved her words away with his hand in her face, still asleep and said, “It’s okay, hey, shhh, it’s okay.” They...

For a minute there, I lost myself
I had a vision of a fire. A cigarette, smoke escaping, catching quickly to the old faded blue carpet. It would be all my fault. Letters from my mother, pictures of my father. There is no good place to store anything. I am forgetful, too lenient. Later, I always say, later.
The train pulls away, and there’s nothing more I can do but let it all burn down. It’s already gone. The winter...

With our hoods up we sang to each other in the cold, huddled, then inside dancing, warm, your face smiling at mine screaming love. My hand led yours through the crowd.
As I was leaving a boy stared me down, and it reminded me of you. I walked over and he said, smiling, “I just like looking at your face.” It was too close, too much. I insulted him without thinking, without meaning to,...
