Its as rigid as a lunar sequence, and our months contract around this event: The silence that floods out of your room. The perversely common image of you with one arm dangling. Hesitate and the skin wont break; it just leaves a map of anguish on your wrists. Vials tipped so the contents slip. A Marat pose. This monstrous art. Hesitation marks. We have urns lined up on bookshelves. We've split up in shifts for bedside vigils. An epi-pen in every coat. We've amassed an arsenal you've absorbed with your cruel vanity. Hesitate and the skin wont break; it just leaves a map of anguish on your wrists. Vials tipped so the contents slip. A Marat pose. This monstrous art. Hesitation marks.
