“You asked for my favorite memory and it is this.
A dying day’s light filling the impossibly large
window behind you. And you — oh, my beautiful boy! —
you sitting on the sapphire sofa at 21C, with
shamelessly provocative dark stubble shadowing the
dimples twinned ‘round your velvet-ribbon mouth. I am
mesmerized, reduced to spinning atoms. We are six
feet and an eternity apart. Our eyes are founding
constellations. I’ve never been more present than I
am in that moment. I am awake to the marrow. You
lift your slender fingers to your chest and look at me,
astounded, before saying “My heart is beating so fast.”
You are unfeigned, I am spinning atoms.”
