i
wish
i
could
remember
everything
he
said
.
it
was
about
trauma
.
how
the
brain
builds
new
pathways
to
make
up
for
what's
been
lost
or
lessened.
it
ended
with
something
like
: "
this
is
where
your
mind
took
you
to
protect
your
creativity
and
your
sanity,
knowing
it
was
where
you
were
going
to
blossom
and
thrive."
hearing
that
felt
like
a
set
of
pointed
teeth
biting
into
the
shear
line
and
easing
a
cylinder
lock
open
.
if
my
palms
would
stop
sweating
bullets
made
for
a
gun
that
isn't
mine
anymore
,
maybe
i
could
turn
the
knob
and
push
that
wooden
wall
away
from
me
.
