MEI-MEI BERSSENBRUGGE

from KISSES FROM THE MOON

The event of friendship opens, making afterward a field of possibility from which to

begin, tenderness pre-existing.

At her party, how does friendship sometimes light her being there, sometimes possibility

itself?

Let the sensation, “I listen to her,” dissolve in my head; there’s no self.

What’s called hearer is hearing.
