A woman struggles with letting go of the arguments. Long after they've ceased, they still continue to echo in her body. She doesn't know who she is anymore and must not only pick up the pieces, but rebuild as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe woman navigates a surreal world where telling her children triggers a flash flood; moving out causes her ex to tangle himself in memory; and dreams are mirrors that refract her deepest fears. In this space, emotions are magnified and manifested within the environment. Through observation and even rumination, she tries to make sense of her grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eReverie Koniecki is a Black writer and educator living in Dallas, Texas.
