i will remember her:
sitting, swinging slowly on the wooden swing, beside me in our second summer, still may. she was fresh out of work and tired as hell that night. sleepless, restless, she often longed for dreamless sleep. instead she’d settled on applebee’s and then come over anyway. my head was on her shoulder and her hand was on my thigh. the stars were hidden by clouds and trees in my yard, so i used her eyes as light.
