i will remember her:
excitement over arts and crafts night. we’d talked about it for hours, breeding nostalgia. i brought over beads, hemp, inks, watercolours, acrylics, papers, sculpture bases, glass paint, sealers—everything i could think of. on her dining table we laid it all out, decided to spray paint glass in greens and reds and violets. the red didn’t survive the evening. it exploded and a violent spray laid claim to the table, staining my duffel bag; we too exploded into laughter, surprised.
