Six Weeks, January Light
home_private · morning
Six weeks since the divorce was finalized, and the floral maxi dress still hangs on the back of the bathroom door where he used to watch her get ready — this morning I slide it on over nothing, sit...

The dress is still on the back of the bathroom door when I wake up. Six weeks and I haven't moved it, not because I forgot it was there but because every morning I needed to decide what it meant before I decided anything else. This morning I decide. I take it...

Twelve Floors, No Apology

Twelve floors above a Brooklyn side street, the plaid skirt is still fanned around her thighs when she rides him — loud, unguarded, his hair caught in her fist and her moans filling the apartment...

The walls in this building are thin. She has always known it — heard the couple on eleven argue about money in April, heard the man on thirteen laugh at something on television every Tuesday. The walls absorb everything and give nothing back, and she has...

Loud in New York
home_private · night
His hands press my palms flat against the cold plaster, the hem of my kurta bunched at my waist, and I am loud in a way I have never let myself be — loud enough that I wonder, briefly, if the...

The wall is thin. I know this the way you know everything about an apartment you've lived in long enough — the way the radiator clicks at eleven, the way sound carries from the kitchen to the bedroom as though the rooms are not separate things. I know the...

July, Before We Breathed

The window is open. It has been open since morning, when the apartment was still bearable, and now the heat from the street comes in the same way it always does in July — not a breeze, not relief, just the city's warmth arriving and staying, settling against...

February, Still In Last Night
home_private · morning
Six floors up in a Toronto condo on a February morning, still in last night's jeans and a thin cotton tee, I pull the silicone dildo from the nightstand drawer and take my time — the radiator...
The radiator has been hissing since before I woke up. I can hear it without trying — low and continuous, the sound of the building refusing the cold outside. The window above the nightstand is fogged at the corners, condensation tracing the temperature...

Still Dressed, Almost Decided

Six-forty-five AM and the dildo is already out of the drawer before I've fully decided — still in last night's anarkali, dupatta half-undone, my body insisting on something my mind hasn't agreed to...

The drawer was already open. I know that's not how I'd tell it if I were being honest with myself, but that's the version I'm going with: the drawer opened, the way certain things happen before you've sanctioned them, and I was standing there in last night's...

The full July heat sits on the back porch like it owns the place. Which is fine. So do I. Six weeks since the papers were signed and I am still learning what that means in small increments — the way I leave a glass on the left side of the sink now, the way I...

His flight doesn't leave until noon. She has been aware of this since she woke up — the specific luxury of it, the hours that belong to no one yet. He had said it last night almost casually, checking his phone: noon, not nine, we have time. She hadn't...

First Time With the Light On

Twenty-eight years old and I've kept the lights off every single time — tonight in the LA bungalow I turn on the bedside lamp and look down at my own hand, actually look, and I understand for the...

I reached for the lamp the way I reach for things I'm not sure I'm allowed to have — quickly, before I could think about it. The click was small. The light was not. I am twenty-eight years old and I have never done this with the light on. The room looked the...

His grey t-shirt was still on his side of the bed where he'd left it — not folded, just dropped, the way he always dropped things when he was thinking about something else. She had not moved it in eleven days. She sat on top of the duvet in the anarkali she'd...
