You take the bottle (now empty) and the other trash connected to your visit and this is <em>kind <\/em>\u00a0\u2014 I guess \u2014 although I know it is also because it is <em>evidence <\/em>of what happens. What happens being the filling of me, causing a stillness so complete that sometimes it\u2019s like was a crazed puppet who had become frazzled in my wires and you made them into lace, or silk, as I am laid calm in my lace &amp; silk &amp; messy with you. And we get to the place where you ask me to tell you of all the times when I felt <em>you <\/em>before you were there and the many times when I wished for <em>you <\/em>and you weren\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Like earlier when I was held for hours trying to get out of the airport and I felt you quietening me. There were four of them holding me and going through my equipment + I thought it\u2019s ok, it\u2019s ok, because I was on my way to you. And then there\u2019s the silly stuff you are so anxious to know about, like when I was 24 + in a room in Alexandria + there was the sea + I was studying lying on the bed (why did you ask about the bedcover?) + the window was open a bit + I lay there with dreams of a knuckled hand on my hip bone \u2014 a grasp of desire \u2014 which I can only describe as being <em>you <\/em>and all the decisions and choices I\u2019ve taken to lead me to where I am, that I can only say were because I one day wanted to explain them to <em>you<\/em>. <em>You<\/em> were there when I dreamt of kisses and Hollywood endings. <em>You <\/em>were also there in the US Army bar in Baghdad when the man, the soldier with the bicepts (I can\u2019t spell, I\u2019m still a bit whirring and buzzed, spelling never was my thing I was always a <em><u>do-er<\/u> <\/em>not a<em> <u>spell-er<\/u><\/em>) and small, reckless eyes leant for me \u2014 not at all scared of the face that I have, that I have had to professionally train to be angular (so angular now I feel I am nothing but a skull growing on a stick) and prim, to portray competence, reliability + trust to be UTTERLY UNAPPROACHABLE because there shouldn\u2019t be a single <em>asshole <\/em>out there who watches the news who hasn\u2019t seen my perfected mug beamed into their space on their screen, but that <em>asshole <\/em>had the AUDACITY to lean in at me going on about my <em>skinny ass <\/em>&amp; they laughed, the group. Why he got to me I don\u2019t know, but I\u2019d just come back from the South and had the stink of bodies + gas in my nose and the grab, grinding rush of flying over dust roads in a jeep with a tag car + a lead + even then you know I felt <em>you<\/em> were there.<\/p>\n<p>And today you were really there \u2014 <em>here <\/em>\u2014 but I didn\u2019t want to tell you about my cameraman who they\u2019ve been going for, whose gone totally awol with his gf calling on an on, how they\u2019re saying he\u2019s Intelligence and I\u2019m now the most senior (I\u2019m not circus master, but hey I\u2019m close) + it\u2019s now my show y\u2019know that I\u2019m resp\u2019b to get him out of there \u2014 but here we were, with my phone blipping away on the desk with like a gazillion calls, texts + emails from London, Washington, NY, Head Office blipping through + I just had to say <em>what the fuck? <\/em>You know, I needed you, because hey you might come with a dark bottle of bubbly + I can glam the whole thing up and you can turn me into lace-stringed limp loveliness and transform me back into a<em> girl<\/em> in this hotel room, so I don\u2019t have to cope with all the shit going on out there which was <em>insane <\/em>today btw if you haven\u2019t seen the news, but I needed you and I knew it would just be a couple of hours, because then you are back home with your <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">wife<\/span>, which is <em>you know, <\/em>the <em>deal <\/em>which I took on board from the outset + that\u2019s <em>cool <\/em>except it\u2019s hard
