Birthday Wish
Brittany Franclemont All I do is exist at the edge of the bridge beside my house, of a pale pink disposable razor, at the edge between here and wherever you are. It was much easier to be numb: to stand at the ledge, to feel weightless without imagining myself stepping out into the emptiness, to accidentally cut my leg shaving and watch the blood swirl down the drain without wanting to follow it. When I blew out my birthday candles today, all I wished for was you. |
