when she cut out her voiceShe is lost and the monster is coming. Her head tilts and jerks like a bird balancing lightly on the bladed grass.There is a ringing phone in her hands and it confuses her so much her chest aches and she begins to rock, tracing the blue buttons as if they might speak. Press down. A voice.This she knows. This voice is strong and limber inside her whiplash of a body.So thirsty, she whispers. I got lost.She tunes in and out.
