JIM CLEANING UP.

Jim getting you upstairs.

Jim putting the splint on your leg,

Jim putting the splint on your arm.

Jim propping the pillows under your shoulder to keep your arm in the socket.

“I’m sorry, Jim. I’m sorry.”

Jim turns out the lights.

You start crying.

“Jim, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

He kneels next to you and starts crying on your chest.

You both cry hard for a long time. Time hurts now. The house is the same but everything else is different. Time is different. You want to have another baby and you spilled the wine and time still doesn’t work right yet and the pasta tasted like pennies and you want your life back.

He stops crying, but you are still going full throttle. Maybe the drugs. Maybe this is a mood swing like they said you might have.

“I’m sorry.”

Your throat is raw from the crying.

“I never wanted to be so dependent. I don’t want to make taking care of me your whole life. I’m so sorry, Jim. I’m not going to let that be your life.”

Finally it stops. Your throat stops, everything stops. You fall asleep.
