How the Hula Girl Sings (2013)
“A hole that began to show some light onto the unknown face of a friend.
The Virgin took a breath, moving along the wall of my room.
I stared at that beautiful painting all morning. Then I got a notion. Something struck me funny. I got up from the black frame bed and lifted the Virgin right off the wall. Some dust settled to my feet. Some strange light seemed to break right through.
There was a hole dug right in that wall straight from Junior’s room, reaching through. A hole filled with mysterio...us things he had placed there to keep hidden. I set the painting on the floor and stared inside, squinting my eyes. These were all things kept close to Junior’s heart. Things I had only heard about but never seen.
The baby bird’s two black eyes. I saw them right away. They were all dried up and hard and kept between two pieces of green glass. They flickered there dull and lifeless but still full of some kind of sight.
There was an old Bowie knife. A ball of white string. A piece of chalk and an old red leather dictionary, torn at the binding.MoreLess
