The Wiring
I want to stay, but staying feels wrong.  Home is a place I only know how to leave.  Even comfort starts to sound like a warning song.

We Were Building
We made plans in the half-light,  talked about next year like it was already built.  Drew blueprints in conversation:  a city, a kitchen, a life that didn’t exist yet.

The Day That Didn’t Hurt
For over a year, I had the date marked in my work calendar: July 27th, 2025. I assumed it would be solemn. Quiet. Sacred. On July 25th, I called Mom while curling my hair as part of my going out ritual. We talked about the usual things: my friends, how being 29 is fun and ridiculous in New York, how I feel more like myself than I have in a while.

Disappearing in Plain Sight
Wear only simple clothes. Neutrals. No logos. Smile just enough. Don’t smile too much or people will talk to you. Don’t frown or someone will ask what’s wrong.

Our Home Still Thinks You're Here
As dusk settles, and the water boils,  I set out one bowl.  One fork. One green cup.  The phantoms appear  like houseguests I never invited.
