We’ve been talking about moving out of the apartment. There’s no longer a need for a family home. Arianna moves forward in Miami. James traces his steps in Montreal.
I listen to Weird Goodbyes by the Bleachers and think about the times I have reminded myself to remember before it is gone. The first time I was at summer away camp for the first time. Chateaguay. I remember very little from that summer but this one moment. We are boarding the bus, taking in the field for the last time. The counselor says to take a mental snapshot, we won’t see this until next summer. I never did see it again but in my memory. The field is very green. The Bleachers: Memorize the bath water, memorize the air; there’ll come a time I want to know I was here.
