The only thing left is ...
- to attack before dawn
- statistics and a shared sense of loss
- to work out a dignified way to come down
- figuring out how to pay for it
- to get back to your bedroom
- to liquidate and save whatever can be saved
- the Devil, and he's stuck
- to color the outlined spaces
- to connect all the wires, turn it on, and hope it works
- to mobilize all efforts
- the peace
- this nutty buttery ice cream cone
- to dispose of the body
- the memory and the experience
- to pray
- the pain and relief
- to hold hands and rock in the corner in despair
- the hard part
- to accept responsibility for your actions
- the deepness
- to uproot them and throw them into the fire
- to give up
- to cure what might have never occurred
- the good night hug
- for me to ask if it's worth it
- the error-trapping routine
- to be sorry—humbly, bitterly sorry—and swear never again to be unkind—never never never again—until the next time
- to show up with a lampshade on my head
- my sense of surprise
