Dispatch

Picking things up & putting them down is different in the presence of the dead. Sound & echo part company. An 8th day is added to the week. Try pretending that no one has a claim on you, like sunlight resting on a meadow agitated by wind. Try going bump in the night. The dead listen without hearing & watch without having to see— they’re ideal witnesses. We’re making more of them as quickly as we can.
