“Another night I’m sick, the kind of sick where bones feel embarrassed to be bones. You’re driving too fast, blue truck, blue lights”

This was a really beautiful read.

I especially love the little stanzas which block out the feeling language in tiny stacks of poetry, which flows in and out like a frame around the prose. “adjacent. on fire. still holding.”

Thanks again, Judi

Erin, this is beautiful in a dark, tragic, and Scorsese kind of way.

Why. Why are grief and loss often the clearest windows of our desire(s). The heart keeps ovulating its hope (thank you @the biological imagination). Why.
