whack some poor athlete in the head with my strokes. I learned a lot then. Learned to close my world, slim the lines, narrow and harden. Wrapped in a towel, aged twelve, I shivered on the patio as my grandmother told me I had ‘childbearing hips.’ Ever since then, I’ve carried any weight lopsided. The restaurant required me to lift chairs and tables, crates of glasses and sandwich board signs. I kept a bruise, permanently, on my left hipbone. At night I stroked the everchanging smudge of blue/purple/grey/green and wondered who it belonged to. The board signs flapped their truths in my fantasies, something about fresh deals, beauty sleep, are you ready. ⁂ I could try to describe the prairie. The cheddar-red homecoming sunsets, sense of the flame-tipped birches in early winter. The nowhereness of every mile lost. Honestly it was like a place from your dreams, yours specifically, a place in-between one world and the next. One girl and the next. Endless flatness. All hope of foliage had long been stamped into the ground, remaining but a texture on earth. People had disappeared on the prairie. Ruthie told me about the will-o’-the-wisp that lit little spirals in the air at night. “If a story in which we escape a fire,” she said. She didn’t finish the conditional. She exhaled smoke. I tried to remember what fire we escaped, maybe a classroom in flames when the plug exploded. What teacher forgot to tell us to leave, spraying the flames herself. Blue fluid, red flame. Kicking open doors with her boots, toes of steel. On the prairie, your breath levelled out to a sigh. I could only watch it from my father’s back garden, while the chickens squawked in their cage behind me. The thing about the prairie was you had to cross all that marshland to get there. You had to risk sinking.

And off it goes, Amy Grandvoinet’s Personal Anthology, reeking of lime and grapefruit, singing a little fragment of a song, about the size of an unused roll of kitchen roll, lifting the rubber washer and removing the foul ring of dirt that oozes out at the edge, feeling a very sad animal indeed…
