100.

Babies on planes to Europe screaming from sleeplessness; stewards from first class asking for silver sleeping bullets. Personal restraint bleeding out eyeballs, sweat glands dumping insomnia, foreign tongues, French cheese into the air. Northern Spain, Canigou at sunset, wind blowing across every growing bodies. Espen's first words, Tobias coming home with a '90 Aerostar and dreams of Danish youth road-tripping America. Less alcohol, more chai than ever before. Acceptance across literary magazines, Pushcart nomination, sleeping regularly, still tired. Hair thinning, energy rising, hips opening, sex on hold. Progress beaten out in furious scribbles, meditation, waiting, Yoga, re-learning life as prayer.
