Lust
We talk of things coming out of nowhere. Like it was paradise and then it wasn’t. I look up and two men with motorized parasails are flying straight toward my sliding glass door. They don’t seem to have much control and there’s a thin layer of ice on the lake. It’s Thanksgiving weekend and the tourists are depressed by the melted snow. This didn’t come out of nowhere: you and me and the end....

Summertime
In California I only notice summer because fruit is cheaper and there’s more light to the days. The temperature and humidity make no real changes, which breeds a melancholy that I won’t talk about because here in California we’re all very happy.

the history or heart of an avalanche
There are moments and there are times and there is being crushed and there is being dead. We know nothing of tragedy if we can say tragedy; it doesn’t work like that because you have no air left in your lungs. You’re sucking snow; you’re looking up from the bottom of the bathtub having forgotten it was cold for days or years. No one counts, so you run in place and tread water because to melt an...
