lipreading
raze
two
teenage
girls
were
walking
down
kildare,
stranded
in
that
liminal
space
where
the
road
slims
down
and
sidewalk
ceases
to
exist
.
one
of
them
was
dressed
in
layers
of
black
.
the
other
was
wearing
a
sundress
on
a
day
when
it
was
at
least
twenty
degrees
too
cold
to
leave
home
without
a
coat
.
the
substance
of
their
conversation
was
lost
to
me
.
all
i
got
was
one
word
.
i
saw
it
leave
the
lips
of
the
girl
who
wasn't
dressed
for
the
weather
.
she
put
her
whole
body
into
it
.
"
um
."
it
made
me
want
to
know
what
lived
on
either
side
of
that
long
,
sad
single
-syllable
sigh
.
