You think you’ve seen it all, and you have. You met Sandra Dove when she sipped gin and lemonade and flicked her cigarette out the kitchen window. She called herself Celina Davenport. Celina Davenport was the present that packed her bags to meet you in the future, in Berlin, just to say she still didn’t like your answers to her questions; that when you speak she hears only the noise of death drawing water. She winked, mistaking you for Eros, and you betrayed her in the worst way possible, when you could have thrived as a scalped-down duplicate of her desire.

Once, once, and once, in the same tree you were born. Sandra and Celina, Ian and Reg, Li-ling and all the Indians who chafe at the sound of a “nigger’s” voice, gaze up at the branches and say, “Look what you made us do to you.” You twitch apologetically. The last seeds of light are dying in your eyes.

You look down, and feel their pain.
