David would eye it cautiously as he left for work each morning, as if he expected it to burst into flames, or come to life and flap clumsily across the room. All it did was slowly gather a thin film of dust. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; When he&#8217;d seen it lying half-hidden beneath the grocery store&#8217;s magazine stand his first reaction had been to find someone to pass it to, a simple transfer of responsibility.

Bodies carry bodies in pockets, on chains like skin-scented heirlooms. When my grandmother died, she left me her first kiss, the ticking sound of summer asphalt and peach fuzzed legs. I see my mother&#8217;s handwriting on the chart beside my bed: Sarita has always been a dramatic child. Her face gathers humidity like tears trapped behind glass. Dr. Winnicki advises me to rest, but never to fall asleep, while he looks for cures in different time zones. His clock is all bent and rusty snow, melting into creeks where salmon spawn alcoholic fishermen. Clocks line up on barstools in Wuuhstah, &#8220;How&#8217;s about a beeah?&#8221; Nicotine-stained vowels, romancing beers like wives. Before becoming wives, girls sway to the music, twirl their skirts with love. Their pink and red fingernails tap out the seconds between handsome wristbands. Tell me what you&#8217;re really thinking . . . I don&#8217;t want to know. Nurse Alma sees too many words in my future, where she says nuts chase the squirrels, and clocks are ever-changing bodies. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ &#160; Sarah&#160;Long&#160;was once on the masthead of&#160;Two Hawks Quarterly, and [...]]]></description>
