during dinner my mother & her sisters get up from the table and start undulating. my little cousin is a careful eleven-year-old who starts watching with eyes wide as the moon. she starts stepping side to side as if the room is a prayer with walls, corollary, eventually all the women left in my family have congregated in a corner of the restaurant. my aunt no longer on speaking terms with god. the one who took me for a drive, so I wouldn’t spill on the linoleum. the one offering me a son to dance with. each looks like where the sun goes at night.
