2025
raze
first
dream
of
the
young
year
:
a
man
sits
in
a
car
with
his
back
to
the
steering
wheel
,
driven
by
the
great
and
terrible
weight
of
love
.
another
man
is
in
the
passenger
seat.
he
chooses
the
same
blindness.
both
of
them
stone
-faced
and
staring
into
the
grey
cloth
of
their
bucket seats.
while
they
speed
down
the
highway
,
the
woman
the
driver
wants
to
spend
the
rest
of
his
life
with
pilots
a
transport
truck
in
the
opposite
lane.
the
accident
isn't
shown.
in
the
aftermath
,
the
man
who
made
this
mess
staggers
from
the
wreckage.
he
steadies
himself
with
the
help
of
an
empty
shopping
cart.
no
blood
or
broken
bones
,
but
his
thoughts
are
as
shattered
as
the
tan sedan
that
brought
him
here
.
he
babbles
about
a
child
that
was
never
born
,
wild
-eyed
and
wounded
somewhere
deep
beneath
the
skin
.
the
passenger
is
gone
.
his
love
has
moved
on
.

...
epitome of incomprehensibility
In
general:
This
sounds
trite
but
I
hope
it's
right
when
I
say
hold
fast
,
hope
it's
better
than
the
last
.

what's it to you?
who
go
blather
from
