prompt: What she remembers before the lamp gutters out I do not remember the year only that it was winter and the unpaved streets were empty although the night was still young and a crescent moon lit the way of the wary windows dark doors shut street lamps guttering out. Weary, I watched a moonlit man in a top hat walking towards me wandering down the stone-clad sidewalk as if he hadn't a worry as the clock struck the hour and steam rose from the city to block out the moon, bare tree limbs reaching out as if to snatch it. They say that no one screams before Jack rips out your throat. I would know. That much I do remember... Steam rises to gag winter's moon before it gasps and breaks this silence.

Lime Ricky Ricky wanted to climb back into the lime soda, its green placenta abandoned, its womb empty. Ejected after its fizz popped and its water broke-- covering everything in reach with limey froth-- Ricky groped around, gasping for breath. He was a land animal now, no longer a swimmer embraced by lime-green jism. He looked around. There was no glass of rum waiting for a jinn, a squirt of citrus, an orphaned man. He jumped, as if he could squeeze back into the bottle, hanging on as I took his picture. But as we all know, once birthed, we can never re-enter the womb. K Enga (10.junio.2017) [174.129] /30:10.1/ |
