Excerpt
memory will be excruciating, but it’s not your apology to say how we each were failed.
we’re reluctant to allow the table to hold the arm’s weight. hold in. hold back. hold that tender spot where the heat gathers, press pad of finger against meat surrounding joint.
reach for something that isn’t there.
reach blankly (retch blankly). reach until something appears (retch something). trust the spell of reaching. step onto the void.
void all.
didn’t wake in the night.
didn’t unstiff in the night.
turned the mistake into a flourish.
