And then: slipping back in. There was the initial surface tension of unfamiliarity (who wrote this thing? they must have been going through it), and lines I didn’t remember sometimes hit me like buses. But in the slow shaping and re-shaping of sentences—in becoming, again, these characters I’d come to know—it was the same feeling as, toward the end of this pass, when I found myself rushing through some Manhattan subway station with two suitcases (which I would never recommend, especially in summer), sidestepping people on the platform and slotting myself in and shallowly breathing in the reek like some nasty madeleine and thinking: the body remembers. Because maybe your past selves don’t always leave you behind. Because sometimes if they’ve poured out enough of themselves for you, in words and phrases and shadings of sense-memory, you can slip in among them, breathe in time to their heartbeats. Because one day this version of you, too, will join their ghostly crowd.
