Her eyes, opaquely glinting in the moonlight.
Again his mind felt overrun by the lapping waves of time.
This was a bad breakup.
It had taken years before their affair was truly over.
You had to really cultivate an ending.
The love that had protected him began to fall away.
The language that she spoke was no longer spoken anywhere on earth.
Where are you going?
Where are you coming from?
The music sounded like fists beating at the wall.
This was a very important question.
It’s changing all the time.
You don’t want me to grow up.
There is so much about yourself that you do not recall.
I don’t think that’s really accurate, sir.
Ancestral superstitions still hovered over the islanders’ minds.
The secret depths her smile concealed.
Everyone has to wear clothes.
The bog crickets were doing a raspy ventriloquy of the stars.
You know nothing about her.
Do something crazy, stupid … .

Everything dissolves like sugar in water.
From inside the box, she screams.
I thought maybe it was him.
Was that too much?
I might know something.
Everything is far from here.
What if memory fails?
Flyers taped to the painted cinder-block walls.
She wants to believe that’s true.
She has arrived, at least.
We’ll sleep, I said again.
The same song was still playing.
I need to slow down.
I was as happy in that moment as I had ever been.
It was terrible wine but it didn’t matter.
We were on a narrow street in the city center.
I just want to remember this forever.
Keep going. And watch your step.
Terrible, in fact.
A hard wind was blowing.
She smiled nervously and made no reply.
Okay, you had your chance.
Tell me what you think it means.
I might not have noticed.
I guess it’s true what they say, that no person is an island.
