raze
so
she
wrote
a
book
of
her
own
.
it
wasn't
a
response
to
his
broken
memoir
with
her
in
it
.
it
was
the
book
of
her
life
without
him
.
about
the
size
of
a
cd
booklet.
light
brown
cover
. artfully
blurred
photographs
placed
between
the
prose.
it
was
out
of
print
and
impossible
to
find
.
touched
by
my
interest
in
her
work
,
she
burned
the
words
into
my
palms
and
reshaped
my
bronze
nails
into
rapiers. armed
with
the
only
weapons
i
would
ever
need
,
i
stood
outside
her
house
and
read
myself
to
learn
what
made
her
tick.
