Nicole Borg Quotes

• “Someone has been trying to
  send me a message for
  weeks—my car keys missing,
  pyramids of coins stacked neatly
  in corners, lamps turned on I
  know I’ve shut off, toast crumbs on
  the counter make the profile of a face.
  
  The scuttling in the attic does
  not sound animal—when I climb up
  there’s old insulation, inches
  of dust and this heaviness
  I can’t shake.
  
  If I could mail one letter to
  the dead, it would be a chain
  letter—Send this to the ten
  people you loved the most—
  to see if it returned to me.”
