raze you and her and all the rest are twins impossible to tell apart, each one the rib of some large animal, a partial skeleton that serves as a backrest unmoored. someday your small bones will straighten someone else's back in the same strange way. someday someone will connect the dots, all the pinpricks you refuse to surrender, and the lines they draw will form the image of a neutron star.

i see who you are when you look at me. what do you see?

tender_square "i know i can't avoid them forever with moving back home, but i don't know how to deal with them." the two women walked along the sidewalk, arms swinging at a brisk pace, as cars sped past them in the opposite direction.

the first woman continued. "i'm angry at them; the fact that they didn't take care of themselves had a spillover effect in my marriage. they seem to think that what they do to themselves only impacts them when it doesn't. i hate that i can't rely on them. i hate the feeling that if let them back in, they're going to pull the same shit. i'm worried something will happen to my mom and that i'll be left to deal with my dad alone."

the second woman spoke. "i know exactly where you're coming from. anything my mom needs, i take care of. i'm not mad at my sister for moving away; she did what she had to do. but it would be nice if she called our mom once in a while instead of leaving me to do the emotional and physical labour of it all."
