I am technically a ghost. Several times I have outlived myself. The first time I died was in the folds of Jonah’s bed, after we said “hello”  and kissedi’ll-see-you-later’s with our skin. The next was between the crease of his elbow. His teeth on my tongue. His fist on my teeth. Now I’ve been killing parts of me on purpose. The laughter he left in the crook of my neck; the hickey on my thigh; the hands that held parts of him I was not supposed to touch. I am trying to remember how to be angry, angry at how he lives, lives forgetting what it was to die on top of him. But the view from up here is breathtaking. In the back-pocket of his jeans he keeps my lips in case of emergencies. … I am still trying to shake him off.
