“Last night Jay dreamed of his father’s bones, buttery in a nest of purple kelp, bejeweled with red sea slugs like holiday lights. The bones were soft in his hands, a gentle touch he never got from Mitt and therefore never gave back. He slid them against his cheek. He kissed them. He woke up tasting marrow. Funny, it tasted like tears.”

“Jay jokes around and collects everyone’s orders so he can go inside, rush to the bathroom, sit inside the stall, press his mouth to his elbow, and gasp the sobs back inside. The Tarshishes are comfortable chairs. But those three people waiting outside are the tones of Jay’s voice, the organs in Jay’s body.”

“Jay focuses on the tide. It skims into the cove in long, curling cones that atomize under their own weight, strike down, scurry like albino snakes, and gasp in pleasure as they are sucked back into the sea between jagged black rocks.”
