life is now.

Everything I’ve told you so far, while being the truth of what I can remember, is also a fiction, as past events can only be recollected in the room of the present. I’m different now from the person I was when the event took place, and so it’s possible I am recalling details more pertinent to my current self, which thereby invalidates the memory. Alternatively, I might be remembering events in the context of how I felt then, which does not reflect my current state. And so there’s always tension. Selves that cannot be reconciled–except perhaps through the absence of memory in meditation or prayer.

Simon Van Booy, from The Presence of Absence (Godine, 2022)

My alone feels so good. I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.
