I imagine other worlds, the one where my brother still breathes. He runs around the yard, the space he takes open and endless. The heart holds beyond its weight: my family’s hurt, a lost timeline, anger curled and sleeping on the porch at night. The sagging of the trees. A patched architecture. Holes in the floorboard. The other children asked why I live where I live. A woman saw into me. She said, you have a light about you, a glow. I believe this, and radiate rings and rings of light hot like the coils of a burner. On a walk, in the woods: a miniature house. Eggshell blue. Lots of windows. Somewhere I could stay.
