Reach

Julia Weist, "Reach" (2015)

This is where I came to be alone. We’re here together now.  It’s a place we built, the both of us.

Sometimes I think that there’s nowhere that hasn’t already been carved up and carved out, although I didn’t use to feel that way.
I remember many years ago, at a party, I saw a man in a homemade shirt. It read, “I miss you like hell” and I sure as hell knew what he meant. I haven’t felt that way in a long time and if there’s anything I miss like hell, well you can bet it’s that.

I guess that’s partly why I come here.  I bought this place, or else I founded it, because there was nothing.  That’s how—for a time—it remained.
