A woman whose life appears perfect is forced to confront a secret from her past after a single video upends everything. Psychological realism and unruly imagination collide in tense, unsettling ways.

A single video can collapse the surface of perfection.

At an age when memory keeps surfacing, the poet records late-arriving love and old age without losing humor or lightness. Intimacy carries both the cruelty and tenderness of time.

Old age is not the end of love but the start of a new language.
