The sun has long gone.
Until she returns, her light
borrowed by the moon.

Why am I left- handed? I started reading the Bible on February 13, 2022 and finished it a year later. And the right hand is the hand spoken of in the Bible. The Bailiff says” raise your right hand” in courtrooms, people extend their right hand to me for a handshake, and I’m over here ,so left-handed.

Since the only thing that might pull us back up is caring, it only makes sense that here, long after I’ve let my anger born of heartbreak and grief misplace, multiply, misdirect itself, let the enormity of my solitude turn into something I don’t know how to dispute with, something thick and heavy and suffocating, let the coldness thrash and fight under my skin, deeper still, in between the arches of my organs; here where the ground is always close and the fall is easy and I surrender to it often, lie without purpose for hours, it only makes sense that it is here, I decide to show up and surrender to the possibilities of the night. Show up to those who I deserted. Drawn to the sense of accomplishment, something I haven’t felt in a while, to memory of finished dish sending its aroma into the world and with it, wrapping the room with a strong sense of sweet nostalgia, I get up and decide to cook. I pick up my phone, type a message that reads “Dinner at mine @ 8PM, don’t bring anything” and before my courage deserts me again, drop it in our friends’ group chat, the way one would do when diffusing a bomb in the movies: one eye closed, snip at the wire, hoping for the best.

Oooo, borrowed! I really loved that!
Hi Colleen, I wanted to reach out and express my appreciation for your captivating piece, "Moonrise." Your imagery and language created a vivid atmosphere that truly transported me. The way you captured the essence of the moon's ascent is truly mesmerizing. Looking forward to reading more of your work. Best regards, Dr. Jay
