The Tenants
“A woman appears on the dunes. Mirage, he mutters; but it’s the real thing. He leaves no footsteps following hers. “If she be black and thereto have a wit, She’ll find a white that shall her blackness fit.”
WILLIE SHAKESPEAR Though he can’t speak her language, nor clearly remember her face although he has invented it, they comprehend each other at a glance and are at once locked in four arms.
The lovers lie in the hot hungry grass, canaries flitting through the feathery palms above. Just as he i...s having it as he always hoped to with a black gal, a white hand touches his shoulder and he wakes against the will on this snowy cold morning in Manhattan, trying to remember if it was as good as they say.
Lesser hungers to sleep again and does for a change after awaking. Fog lifts on the beach. The sea at the shore is green—purple beyond, the salt air warm, ocean-fresh. In the distance clouds of islands float on the swelling sea.
He finds her in the dunes, dancing to herself, her nude blackness dancing in the dance.MoreLess
