The sea is the land, only skinned. You look away, avoiding my eyes, in such sweet misery â an opera singer catching her breath â then slide your eyes on to your perpetually tanned hands that are already fidgeting the edge of your shrunken pink cardigan. As a child I dreamed you being raped in this pink sweater, lying in a ditch behind our summerhouse, your unbendable leg thrust into your body like a shovel, your mouth opened without a sound and staring at me like your third eye. I didnât even know what rape was back then. All I knew was that your pink sweater was your way of showing others you were not a pauper.
