“Was that really all there was to love? Darkness undone, a hand on your forehead. In the meantime all you could do was wait--tired, alone, the minutes as long or short as a lifetime--for the face in your dream to appear.”
Eric Puchner, Model Home

“My heart was an onion making me cry.”
Eric Puchner, Music Through the Floor: Stories

The pose had mysterious names: Downward Dog, Sun Salute. Once I found her lying on the grass in a random-looking sprawl, the palms of her hands turned up to the drizzle.
"The Corpse," she explained later. "Feels wonderful.”
Eric Puchner, Music Through the Floor: Stories
