What She Wouldn’t Dream Of M. J. Iuppa is more or less a dare. Something her mother said to her while Peggy Lee sang “Is That All There Is?” She remembered that June afternoon, its full sun & heat; beads of sweat on ice tea glasses trimmed with mint. She was taking final exams; passed Chemistry with high eighties. The news floored her. She recalled looking at her pencil writing in hard marks and wondered who was taking the test and a voice in her head said, Don’t even dream of it. So she didn’t. Her mother sang like Patsy Cline. Crazy—she still hears her mother’s voice. 9
A Kiss Good-bye M. J. Iuppa There’s something lonesome in the snick of the suitcase’s latch. The way it clicks like the pull chain on the bare light hanging in the closet. You remember both. The darkness you took with you, along with the smells of your folded clothes; leaving winter stuck in the bottom drawer, wedged between photos and letters written long ago. You knew it was time to go when you could no longer share the blame. It had to be all yours. You said it more than once, “It’s my fault, not yours”— as if there was never any room for two. 10 <strong>THAT</strong>
