“None of the dead come back. But some stay.”
“It was one of the moments you stay in, to hell with all the troubles of before and after. The sky is blue and the dead are coming back. Later in the afternoon, with sad resignation, the county fair bares its breasts.”
“Wren, come back, please come back. Don't disappear again. I want you here. Stay here.”
“Anything dead coming back to life hurts.”
“Something you killed didn't stay dead? Wow. That must have really put some termites in your coffin.”
“Some friends gladly stay, some move away. Some come and go, but their affections grow. While some, I recall, are not friends at all.”
