THE FIRST SARAH

The first Sarah wore her dark curly hair loose to the waist and when she spun, it caught wind and became a parachute of hair, buoyant and rippling. This is how she looked when Abey first fell in love with her, mid-spin, gawping up at an outstretched tree limb, fuchsia petals raining down: a vision. Sarah wasn’t even called Sarah yet; she was still going by her birth name Sarai, but that name’s warrior vibes didn’t suit her and so mostly everyone just called her Sari.

Abey and Sari shared a daddy and so Abey had of course known Sari since she was a born, but as a child, Sari had been dressed in little pants and a kippah and her curls were shorn except payos. Abey had been off studying and when he returned after many years, Sari had grown from an unremarkable boy into a beautiful girl, which is why Abey didn’t recognize his half sibling spinning under the flower tree; he simply thought, this spinning girl will be my wife.

Sari was from before God created the gender binary. We know: in all the paintings, everyone’s got perfect dicks and muscles or else curves and neat slits, but that’s not how it was. How it was was genitalia could look budlike or bloomed, zucchini-ish or more like a berry cluster, like an anemone or a starfish or a pair of sea cucumbers. Bodies came in all different combinations of planar and bumpy. People identified with masculine or feminine dress in ways that matched their genitalia and body type or in ways that did not and no one was mad about it yet.

Sari had genitalia like a young summer squash and Abey like an overripe zucchini, and while this was perhaps not the most common combination of genitalia for a couple in love to have, it was also no big deal. They married.

It was strange, Sari thought, that girls’ joy in their own freedom was so often the thing that made men want to turn them into wives. Sari wasn’t particularly itching to get married, but she knew it was inevitable and Abey was a nice boy and her mother approved, which Sari cared about. It wasn’t a big deal to marry your half brother in those times; there just weren’t enough people on earth for people to start getting picky about incest.

Sari was so pretty, and she delighted in the world around her, making Abey delight in it, too. Sari and Abey honeymooned for years, wandering through the desert enjoying the feel of sun on their skin. They scooped up sand and let it run sparkling through their fingers. They sliced cactuses and grilled them on a fire and fed these sliced, grilled cactuses to each other under the stars. Sari pulled her legs into the air and Abey hardened seeing the little pink star between Sari’s cheeks and he pushed Sari’s knees behind her ears and Sari’s hamstrings smarted so good and she gasped in pleasure and Abey entered her and she felt so full so full.
