Taste: salt, sustenance
Touch: his hand becomes light, dissolves as he falls asleep while mine gains weight and I remain awake
Smell: sweet, impenetrable decay enclosed in a car
Sight: a small me sitting reflected in a golden doorknob
Sound: dishes clatter, echoing through a kitchen at dawn, everything that drops a spoon, a knife, a bottle of pills, shatters the morning silence, a postcard flutters to the floor, the back door opens and closes creaking, the wheels roll, the lid snaps shut, the dog pants, the dog barks, and then, after the initial activity, the morning sated, stillness returns and silence
Extra: heavy words: malignant melanoma metastasized, staging, brain fever, miracles, the unknown; the Kepler Mission launches March 5
