Still Here.

Five readings from the house

Five essays about Elias, read aloud for the end of a long day. Each one leaves you a single thing to carry, and each one has its own song, written for the house.

  1. No. 1A Used Sunday.Being used up is not the same as being used.
  2. No. 2The Fire Didn’t Need Him.You were allowed in the room before you were useful in it.
  3. No. 3Keeping September Company.Green in front, gold behind. Both are you, and nothing about you is late.
  4. No. 4Just Make It Without.Say what is missing, then make it anyway.
  5. No. 5There You Are.Someone is glad you exist.
