“The white gate of Diego’s teeth opened in a smile. He was asking me about Lolita from the pool, but he couldn’t quit grinning. Blue bikini, flowers with cells of yellow and white petals, pinched mouth, aristocratic neck, as if I’d forgotten. But I had. I had forgotten all about her because…” Rainy season picked up where it left off last year. Rosa sat for a while with the translator — Axel, a Swe... » Continue Reading

NEW JASMINE SCENT—The years are slushy out here. This generation were born on the island but the air is hot primordial soup; their children are still getting sunburns and sticking nicotine patches on with aloe vera. It wasn’t empty before. It’s not empty now. I finish off my flight with a drink in the airport while Juno fumbles around in her bag for the envelope her mother wrote the chauffeur's nu... » Continue Reading

the places that you want to take from me i don't care about (a film of jaeger makes anyone blind to your face and the room is crowded enough for me to keep to the other side) but you gave him his silver pieces and now you got all of their fingers to point at me — et tu, brutè? — so maybe i shouldn't have tried after all and just forgotten about you. i chose my side and god knows you did too, even ... » Continue Reading

I offer you my soul like a withered flower upon your divine altar; let the petals of my waiting fall through your hands as I await your return. My blood, as ink, will write your name across the nights of prayer. I am your faithful devotee — I pray for your touch, I pray for your smile. My heart beats to the rhythm of your steps; and if your voice is lost to the centuries, I will make my breast an ... » Continue Reading
