Meeting Mandy
The longer a meeting gets put off, the more daunting it becomes. Try waiting four years.
The Spirit of the Horse
There are deep impressions in the grass, tracks from your truck and muddied sod from the vet who “put him down.”
Centerpiece
The women sit before a turkey, baked for hours, always counting the minutes, tapping feet to a tune.
The Northern Lights
I never took your last breath; you never saw my first. So when I was young I invented fathers to take your place.
Transcendence
No difference between night and day when during sleep the world changes. You repeatedly pull yourself out and the crowd pushes you.
