a giant monolith for lovers
in st. louis, the sun was out and the arch—that gateway to the west!—was really glowing in it. i grew up in st. louis and we took visitors to the arch all the time. because of this, it just became sort of routine to me. returning to st. louis fifteen years later for a weekend wedding and there was the arch, sitting there still, calling for me to come say hi.

‘fran,’ i yelled, ‘come see...

there is part of my thumb missing today. not a noticeably large part, but large enough to seem weird. my thumb keeps finding its way to my mouth where my tongue sort of examines the surface area and sends a signal to my brain: yup, it’s still missing.
