“Not everyone who leaves you owes you an explanation. Sometimes they just go, without warning, without reason, and it messes with your head. You keep replaying everything, trying to find what went wrong, hoping for closure that never comes. But even if they told you why, it wouldn’t make it hurt any less. The truth is, they left, and that’s all you need to accept. Stop searching for answers in people who have already moved on.”

“Transparent tubes divided Phil’s blood into shades of red, fading to straw colored plasma. I watched his fluid swirl past his shoulders and disappear into machines. He offered himself to blood banks all over the city, his plasma rushed to hospitals where it would circulate through other people’s bodies. The map of my love’s tapped arteries would look like a bloodshot eye over the city of Albuquerque. His blood bought us dinner. I dreamed he was my mother, and I nursed his arm. I wrote a poem about it, how I suckled his arm dry like a sore teat.”
