undercurrent
raze
rosemary
hasn't
been
well
for
years
.
she
was
told
she
would
never
walk
again
.
and
here
she
is
.
leaving
her
hospital
bed
with
grey
hair
that
was
brown
when
last
she
stood
.
she
toggles
through
strange
pads
on
a
synthesizer
in
search
of
an
organ
sound
.
the
tone
wheel
doesn't
control
vibrato
.
it
introduces
an
undercurrent
of
distortion
.
it
sounds
like
living
feels
,
she
thinks.
she
hears
a
man
playing
accordion
from
inside
a
house
she
knows
so
well
it
could
almost
be
her
own
.
she
won't
let
herself
wander
that
way
.
two
boys
stare
at
the
scars
on
her
back
.
a
bequest
from
the
car
that
could
have
killed
her
when
it
turned
her
bones
to
tinder. "shoot
an
eagle
in
the
eye
,"
she
says
, smirking.
she
is
plush
and
pliable.
no
bigger
than
a
breath
.
and
i
hold
her
in
my
arms
.
