The Five Pillars of Intimacy Direction

They frame them in five pillars, listed on a handout that fell out of my journal…
Pervert
So here's the thing. I'm talking on the phone from the bedroom of my tiny graduate school apartment in Seattle to a man stoned on cocaine who has called me from a New York hotel at midnight and wants to know if I will speak with the hooker he has…
Dancing on the Blade
Content Warning: This essay chronicles a healing ritual for survivors of sex trafficking with mention of rape and sexual trauma. Guarded by outlines of enormous crows, the words “You are Beloved” are painted in giant pink letters. A six-foot lantern burns as if leading the way. The artists won't finish…
Undetermined Circumstances
Oh! ye whose dead lay buried beneath the green grass; who standing among flowers can say—here, here lies my beloved; ye know not the desolation that broods in bosoms like these. —Herman Melville, Moby-Dick It was a late spring morning when I set out driving to the small unnamed creek…
Steady

Sunny Sixteen
For nearly a year now I had been living with five other people in a house in Redondo Beach. I slept on the couch. In the mornings I would pull back the Venetian blinds to watch the fog tiptoe from the ocean, then up the gentle sand dune overlooking the…
Joy
We all sit in awe when the woman comes back with the drinks and lights up the one I've ordered. It's kind of dim in the restaurant and Shauna's mother—her name's Collette—has been shining a keychain flashlight all over the menu for the last several minutes trying to decide on…
Reflections
Illustrations by Maria Sweeney for Lois I woke to spring this morning. Plum trees batted against the open window, and a hard, purple knob landed on my pillow. I stretched toward the sun, the first bright bulb of my calla lily watching from the sill. It was a lazy Sunday,…
Sylvia
Illustration by Kimberly Edgar I never saw her smile—not once—not in all the months I would come to know her. Her eyes held something. I didn't know what. It wasn't vacancy. It wasn't sadness. Maybe it was rage—maybe hidden, seething rage. Maybe that's too strong. She was the most homeless-looking…
