he
fell
asleep
on
the
couch
and
went
somewhere
else
.
he
saw
me
performing
for
a
group
of
people
in
a
room
.
he
didn't
recognize
anyone
in
the
audience
.
i
didn't
see
him
.
there
wasn't
light_enough
for
us

find
each
other's
faces

he
had
this
doll
with
him
.
nothing
he
bought
or
made
himself
.
it
was
just
there

kind
of
rodent.
he
threw
it
at
me
to
get
my
attention
.
its
head
fell
off

heard
my
voice
and

This
is
what
his
mother
called
me
—her default
term
of
endearment. “
Hi
doll,”
she
would
say
as
I
walked
through
the
door
,
making
me
something
cherished,
precious
,
all
youth
and
porcelain
beauty
.
No
one
has
called
me
this
for
years
.
Now
my
face
is
chipped,
my
body
haunted
.
My
eyes
are
still
a
teacup
blue
and
will
follow
you
in
the
dark
and
flutter
open
if
you
tip
me
to
the
light
.
