The Watcher
“His face was haggard, scattered with gray stubble and damp with sweat. In the air between them was the musky odor of bourbon. “I am weary with my moaning,” he moaned. “All night I make my bed swim.” He looked at her, and even as she looked away, Kate was sure his gaze was lingering on her breasts.”
M-O-T-H-E-R
“In high school and college, Uma Shastri was good at math and economics because she studied hard. But with a field hockey stick or a tennis racquet in her hand, her body slid to all the right places without conscious thought.”
Refraction
“Born with so much blackness, I spent my life adjusting / puffy eyes to a new light, missing her darkness”
I Ask the Xenomorph Queen: Do I Want My Womb?
