The sound of the ocean woke me up. It delivered me into the warm and bone-bright glare of the hospital. It blares through my skull. I lift myself upon the sand. I feel its atoms shift beneath my hands. I see it fragment and form into rocks and stones long settled over bones. That’s it, I’m done. That’s it, I’m lost. That’s it, I’m gone. Hissing through the radio: “It looks like another Love T.K.O.,”¹ on the car ride back to the hospital. ...I thought we were going home? In the morning all I see is a body that is incomplete and advancing into long shadows. Another spectral episode! The body is a photograph. The body contains all its past. What made you up keeps making you. You will never be new.
