The separation of things II

Leave town. When you leave, leave like you’ve never left before.

Throw your bra out the car window. Somersault.

Go to shul one final time and sit in the chazzan’s seat. Take out all the sifrei torah.

Dance.

Celebrate your freedom and grief for what you are leaving behind.

Embrace this moment because it cannot be repeated.

Kiss the mechitza goodbye, my lovely.

Leave your salty tears on the siddur.

Love.
