“We were almost there, but what was the point. There was no relief, no release. Our home was a couple orders of magnitude more luxurious than those down here, but it was hardly any different. Inside was an eternal moonrise just the same, illuminating the marital bed I shared with this stranger.”
‘Moonlight Passacaglia’, from the short-story cycle Moon Tenements, is currently featured in There Is No Relief or Release From Sadness, an art-therapy zine curated by underground artist Philip Dearest. Copies are available locally in Queensland comic shops, and will be available on Dearest’s web store shortly.
