“In the margins of newspapers, I wrote the color of her eyes, her favorite flower, the shape of the birthmark on her hip. In the Bible, over passages of begetting, I wrote the taste of her lips, her name, over and over, two syllables light as glass, and how often I called her by the first syllable, a sigh across her skin.”
