    Summary

    Every loss is a fracture point. A life splits into before and after, the world into ‘with’ and ‘without’ - and Seluna Tabris is stuck on the wrong side of the gap. The shattered pieces of the ‘with’ stay with her: lips pressed to a baby’s fragile skull, fingers making circles on her lower back, elbows bumping as they make an evening stew to share. Three warm bodies in one bed. Afterimages of who she could have been, the love she could have had. Nothing to do except to swallow them down. Feel their edges, in her stomach, every time she moves. Infants to replace the one she lost.
