Adam strokes my head, my face, he kisses my tears. We are blessed. Let them all go. The sound of a bird flying low across the garden. Then nothing. Nothing. A cloud passes. Nothing again. Light falls through the window, falls onto me, into me. Moments. All gathering towards this one.
Jenny Downham

Jenny Downham
We make patterns, we share moments.
Jenny Downham
I'm me and you're you, and all of them out there are them. And we're all so different and equally unimportant.
Jenny Downham
Parents don't know their children at all. No one knows anyone, in fact.
Jenny Downham
Her skin tasted expensive.
Jenny Downham
. . . my bones they'll burn or bury. It'll be my death.
Jenny Downham
I wish I had a boyfriend. I wish he lived in the wardrobe on a coat hanger. Whenever I wanted, I could get him out and he'd look at me the way boys do in films, as if I'm beautiful.
Jenny Downham
No, really. I free you.' I don't want to be free.
Jenny Downham
