Fingernail on the cliff.

Contrary to popular belief, it's the big things that go first.

First you end up not talking to each other for a long time

Then you end up not talking to other people about each other for a long time

Then you discard all big blaring things that remind you- pictures, letters, messages

Then it just starts to escape your mind- big chunks of memory become insignificant and obsolete and are deleted to make space for new ones.

You're free.

Then a small morsel of a detail suddenly surfaces. Just a tiny, tiny piece. Something small, just a pebble in your shoe or a splinter that bites your skin; a piece of shrapnel that races to your heart; a grain of sand in your eye; a shooting star.


destroy it before it destroys you.
