helix

what?
a helix piercing, followed by vegan milkshakes and watching The One I Love (2014, USA, McDowell).

when?
The 14th of September, it was a lovely day.

where?
Stingray Body Art, then FoMu and finally West Newton Cinema (the theater is slightly decrepit, but I like it).

why?
because I've wanted to for so long it felt like I already had it done years ago. I told Dasha Sh when I was in Moscow in February of 2009, and she sent me a letter with a little hoop earring, which took about two months to come but did make it (surprisingly, happily).

who?
me, the writer, with her lovely friend Yulka.

how?
with a needle. with money. with pressure. with choice. with a hand. with a deep breath in and a deep breath out. with advice. with memory. with metal in flesh.

which?
the right one.
