December 15, 2022 - “We eat and try to remember everything” by Elizabeth Lerman

She tells me I used to dream about a woman crying - wailing, really, and I would wake up with the same scream in my mouth, and I don’t think she knows who it is but she doesn’t ask if I do, and so I think maybe we both do. She tells me the photo albums are still on the bookshelf in the basement, that I can go look before dinner, if I want to, and I do want to, have been waiting to, actually, but then I don’t and dinner comes. We eat and try to remember everything.
