The music remains muted, allowing tentative hands to get to know one another: a finger grazing a knuckle, a palm wandering up a forearm; the parking lot never gets to read the revisions dissipating from inside the windshield, never gets to raise the glass at the wedding, chide the groom gently for his first words.
J. Bradley is the author of the graphic poetry collection The Bones of Us (YesYes Books, 2014), with art by Adam Scott Mazer. He lives at iheartfailure.net.
