The problem with certainty lives in its instability: how this afternoon I sliced open a peach at its seam, finding it gone to mush.
I licked each wet wrist before I threw the peach in the garbage.
Yesterday it would have been delicious—the day before, inedible.
What I’m trying to say, Naomi, is you found me at the exact right time
— Rachel Mennies, "March 19, 2017" in The Naomi Letters

when [if nobody has died, why do i grieve?] and when [i am my mother’s child i’ll love you til my breathing stops] and when [if i could dream at all it’d be about you] and when [it’s a crime she’s not around most of the time] and when [when you talk, it’s in cursive to me, and it’s nicer than anything i’d believe about me] and when [karma is my boyfriend] and when [if all else perished, and he remained, i should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger] and when [i couldn’t get the boy to kill me, but i wore his jacket for the longest time] and when [i can let you hurt me for the rest of my life] and when [and i’m still waking every morning but it’s not with you] and when [i would sell my soul for a bit more time]
