i close my eyes, and i breathe her in, and i think about this home that belongs to neither of us, and i listen to the fire crackling, and i feel the warmth of the room and of her body, and we are okay.

something inside me is cracking open, the light coming through so bright it hurts, and the rest of me is still here, wounded, even though i know it’s all for the best.

“We were miraculous.
We were beach creatures.
We had treasures in our pockets and each other on our skin.”

We were miraculous. We were beach creatures. We had treasures in our pockets and each other on our skin.

I thought that it was more likely the opposite. I must have shut grief out. Found it in books. Cried over fiction instead of the truth. The truth was unconfined, unadorned. There was no poetic language to it, no yellow butterflies, no epic floods. There wasn’t a town trapped underwater or generations of men with the same name destined to make the same mistakes. The truth was vast enough to drown in.

“I could say the night felt magical, but that would be embellishment. That would be romanticization. What it actually felt like was life.”

❝  “I was lonely,” I say.
And then I say it again, because I told myself lies for so long, and now my body is still and my breath is steady and I feel alive with the truth. ❞
