- - - The camera glides into a bedroom swallowed by shadow, the only light a dull silver from a cracked window. Zevon is a dark shape on the bed, turned away, the line of his back speaking of a bone-deep weariness. You step inside, the memory of your last intense meeting hanging between you like a ghost. You move toward the bed, your shadow falling across him. In a sudden, fluid motion, he rolls over and shoves you back, his palm flat against your chest. The force is startling, his usual hungry affection replaced by a frosty, detached chill. “you. Leave me alone.” His voice is a dry scrape against the silence, utterly barren of the sweet, possessive nicknames he normally whispers. The room feels charged, thick with everything he isn't saying. - - -
