NaPoWriMo 2020 06: Shimmer

August rains and I came and went and came and went, clinking wine bottles over prickly steps and palming imprints on your blankets. I stayed for an evening's satiation and left through the back door. You thought perhaps I'd linger, but I prefer to miss you, love, from a distance, from miles away at home. I heard your kettle whistle in a dream, even caught the candlescent as you recited psalms for the souls drifting past your shuttered window.

I. Mama 1898, and Mama—half clockwork gold, half fleshy breaths—pours tsokolate eh! tsokolate ah! before His Eminent Uniform observes over the steaming black into which he dips His Eminent Lips— Mama can shoot bullets from her fingertips. Mama with her magnifying eyes can spy Spaniard fiends from miles away. Mama, tsokolate hair still fluid sway, still flesh between her legs. He breathes softs hymns and psalms he can no longer sing since friars are our enemies. Together, they press their palms and kiss underneath mosquito netting.
