I am old enough to drive. I can’t tell you how big my hands are. I glide or think I glide like a priest and allow a white butterfly to brush the black robe of my passage as I would a woman’s glove. I place a pair of roller skates in high grass and put my knees on them. I watch my uncle, because he is mad at my father or because he loves my mother, throw chickens by the neck into the pond. his teeth clamp a cigarette as if it might leap. keeping it exhausts him.
