I did not know how to assuage itI felt, instinctively, that vodka would not work.
I would simply have to bear it until we met, and that was the nature of this peculiar, blissful burden.
Only a little longer to wait now, a matter of hours. Tonight, I was going to meet the man whose love would change my life.
I was ready to rise from the ashes and be reborn.

I am naked, lying on the floor, looking at the underside of the table.
The pale wood is unvarnished, and there is a faded stamp bearing the imprint “Made in Taiwan.”

This hideous table, blue melamine top, rickety legs, the varnish scraped off in places by decades of careless use.
How many kitchens has this table been in, before it found its way to me?
I imagine a hierarchy of happiness; first purchased in the 1970s, a couple would sit here, dining on meals cooked from brand-new recipe books,
eating and drinking from wedding china like proper grown-ups.
