i wanted to tell you everything. i wanted to write to you about my heart; its breaking, hold you and talk about trauma and cry and sink and shrink and expand. grieve. but for now here's something: when i wasn't looking, the day went by beautifully, today. the skies turned pink in the evening, as it does. the air became cool and quiet. we made eggs and vegetables. i laughed many times, and there was music.
