EJ The light is rising.

Spilling out from behind chimneys.

I should’ve gone home with her.

She smelled like cocoa butter and sweat.

Dark blue diluting into a milky lavender.

There’s a faint crackling in the air.

Like TV static.

And a low hiss. Air escaping from a tyre.

I can feel it on my skin. Raising the hairs on my arms.

Smells electric.

‘

There’s a house at the end of the street.

JOY I make friends quickly.

Afterwards.

We go to the pub.

A lot. We go to the pub all the time.

We have dinner parties.

One night I cook them noodles and they can’t finish it for the tears streaming down their faces.

I stop cooking Chinese food.

I feel the weight of Cantonese on my tongue.

Pulling me down.
