The Geology of Grief
Excerpt: “Carrie sits at a small table in the pre-dawn light near her kitchen window and waits for her eggs to boil. On the table, she turns and smooths the pages in a book about rocks and minerals she gave Joshua for his fifteenth birthday, the year he asked for a rock tumbler. She studies each illustration, tracing the edges of the 2D stones with her finger. She imagines texture where there is only smooth paper and colored inks. She imagines papercuts where there are only loops and whorls.”

Being Married to Blake
Excerpt: “We lived tight and cheap in the single-wide with the single-pane windows and single bathroom and the kids doubled-up in a bedroom smaller than the high school broom closet where Blake gave me my first hickey and daughter number one.“

Afternoons Spent
Somewhere Between Flying
and Drowning in Grapevine,
Texas
Excerpt: You float naked and dare a neighbor to glance out their kitchen window as they wash out the coffee pot or look up from mulching their raised beds. Just look, you say. Just look at me. You will never look this good naked again. You will never float this effortlessly.
