My wife is having the
guest. Since morning she has been just curling up on bed. Once in a while
she goes out of room then moves back and forth. Messy hair. Frowning hair. Goes back to the room. Through the doorway,
once in a while I look at her from living room, while watching TV and eating
peanuts. Once she curls again. And then she gets up. Sticks her body to wall.
Dives.
At commercial break, soda can in hand, I come to her. “Wanna get some medicine or what?”
Her eye, the one that doesn’t sink into mattress,
stares at me. “I ... wish ....”
My stomach twists in sudden. Pain radiates in both my legs. I get dizzy ... and limp ....
I see myself standing, soda can in hand. “Not bad,
huh?” then chuckles and sits back comfortably on couch.
Bring back ... my body ... to me.[]
