Short Story
Morning or Evening?
"What time of the day is it? Afternoon or evening? How long have I been sleeping? Have I slept at all?" The thick, long blue curtains drawn tightly across the window almost touch the floor.

Opaque
Why are these clothes
such solid, unrelenting things?
Who dictated they should be
opaque?
Where did they get the right
to fight my outlines?
Why should they have weight?
Don't

The right way
(Johnnie Lascar 1930)
You call this
tea?
Black brew, no sugar, raw milk?
Let me tell you how it should be.
Put the water in the pan.
Add sugar, more than that,
more. Then boil it
till it gets quite syrupy.

How to cut a pomegranate
'Never,' said my father,
'Never cut a pomegranate
through the heart. It will weep blood.
Treat it delicately, with respect.
Just slit the upper skin across four quarters.
