Something She Can Feel (2011)
“The grainy bursts reminded me of the hits I’d been taking all evening at my birthday celebration.
I was no fool. I knew Jr was just trying to twist up my thoughts to get his way, but I kept thinking maybe in his errors there was something correct. Maybe he was right. Maybe I couldn’t sing because I hadn’t been singing. Not outside of my classroom. Then I started thinking about why I’d left the choir in the first place. I said I wanted to focus on my students. It was true, but really, right befo...re I left, I just kept feeling like I’d done everything I could do for the choir. It had been twenty years. I was ready to move on. But to what? Shifting things around in my purse, my eyes went from the empty passport to the empty notepad. Even thinking I could make up the next step hadn’t helped me find one.
It might’ve helped if I could talk to someone about these questions that were pitching against my brain, but Billie was so busy getting over Clyde and sometimes talking to my mother seemed impossible—she was so caught up in the things she wanted for my life.MoreLess
