I was in a room surrounded by waterfalls, their sound echoing all around me. I had to settle something with a girl who claimed to make the rules of the house. Instead of speaking, I wrote to her in a notebook—but as I wrote, the words shifted and transformed on the page, alive with a will of their own.

I knew she was reading them at the same time, as if the act of writing was also an act of revealing.

Then I lay down and closed my eyes.

But I kept writing—on the inside of my eyelids. And she kept reading.

My eyes became a river.
