A native of Massachusetts, Michelle Valois called Sweden home for nearly a decade. Two years ago, she travelled in India, a place that she could grow to love as much as Sweden. Michelle’s writing has appeared or is forthcoming in 2River View, Brevity, Fourth Genre, Hayden’s Ferry Review, Pank and others.
I’d been thinking about leaving. I’d been thinking how there’s something about out here. Before long it’s a new January and you’re hungover with a heartache for a man you won’t see for several years until he pops up on that very popular, critically-acclaimed sitcom with that actress you learned to like, then hate, then feign indifference abou
The leak in your breathing/ tube makes a cartoon squeak./ It takes two nurses, silent/ as nuns, to place you/ in my arms...
If I have already/ gone insane/ but I want to get/ crazier yet,/ what’s my move?/ Go outsane?
