A Dying Actress Reads The Bible | Christopher Michael Suda

Again, or even for the first
time, you prepared another one

of those emergencies. We know
how it turned out, naturally.

The chance to mime behaviors
of more complicated animals

always turned up well ahead
of us. At twenty-three you had

never lived that slow spring of
an ordinary woman. God and I

imagined that day—the terrible
truth is that we’ve lost.
