I am here for Friends

About Me

I took a drink, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand, repeating the gesture that was made a hundred times by my father and his father and his father's father, eyes half closed as the sharpness of the alcohol replaced the sharpness of grief. And then, when the bottle was gone, I danced. Slowly at first. But getting faster. I stomped my feet and kicked my legs, joints cracking. I pounded my feet and crouched and kicked in the dance my father danced, and his father, tears sliding down my face as I laughed and sang, danced and danced, until my feet were raw and there was blood under my toenail, I danced the only way I knew how to dance: for life, crashing into the chairs, spinning until I fell, so that I could get up and dance again, until dawn broke and found me prostrate on the floor, so close to death I could have spit into it and whispered: L'chaim. I woke up to the sound of a pigeon ruffling it's feathers on the windowsill. One arm of the suit was torn, my head was pounding, there was dried blood on my cheek. But I'm not made of glass.
