Circles of Confusion
“He keeps things in it. Me, for instance. There are simply times when we have to be alone. He pays for it in cigarettes, and the woman he rents it from is glad of the occasional American dollar he tosses her way. We went there last night to be alone, never minding the holes in the roof. We took a bath together. He has hair on his chest and belly, which seems unusual for a blond man. I played with it as it dried from the heat of the fire, combed it with my fingers until it was the shape of a butt...erfly.
