“Spin Cycle” 2024 Fictional Flashbacks! Shortlist
| I left your ID card in my breast pocket and the washing machine buckled your photo into a misshapen parody. The colours are right, but it isn’t you anymore. Hold still, let me remember. Your face shimmies loose in my mind. It is a dust moth, skittering and sliding. Fleeting. Elusive. Alchemise into an apparition. Visit me as I sleep. Come, stand before me. Peer down, so I can paint your eyes, your nose, your mouth, deep into the twisted crevices. I want more than an echo, a mnemonic, a fragment. Live and breathe, laugh and smile, if only there. |
