When

the doctor

asked if I was suicidal

I told her that I’d called off

work one day last week to sit on

my balcony and witness the old Victorian home

across the alley being dismantled by a crane. For years

I watched this house pass from one new owner to the next,

each excited by her potential, each sure they would be the one to fix

her, each eventually deciding she was too much work. I tell my doctor that

I feel like a house, unwieldy and unclaimed. I worry my bones might be

made of crumbling red brick. I am prescribed 3 green oils to be taken

with breakfast. They are supposed to make me feel less heavy, more gr-

ounded and mostly they work. In the event I forget to take them altog-

ether I am less person, more flock of hummingbirds hovering in a vague

person configuration tying not to get caught. Now, there are still days

even when I remember to take them, that I grow to be 50 ft tall with-

out much warning and make a mess of everything. My giant hands fum-

ble to fix the things I have broken but only make them worse. And what

I want more than anything when I am 50 ft tall is to be met with tende-

rness until I can get back to a manageable height but there are no arms

big enough to hold me when I am 50 ft tall. I am embarrassed by the sc-

ale of my neediness and just want to hide but there is nowhere to hide

when I am 50 feet tall. The medical miracle of the 3 green pills is that

even on those days when I am 50 feet tall I know now more often than I

don’t know that I am a soft human woman deserving of the care and

the work to keep me standing and not a hollowed out Victorian home

anyone can pull down brick by brick.
