“I wanted rather to feel something on Christmas Day. The real question would have been “dear Claudia what experience would like on Christmas” I could have spoken up, “I want to sit on the low stool in big mama’s kitchen with my lap full of lilacs and listen to big papa play his violin for me alone.”
The lowness of the stool made for my body, the security and warmth of big mamas kitchen, the smell of the lilacs, the sound of the music, and since it would be good to have all of my senses engaged, the taste of a peach perhaps afterward.
-
The excerpt from Song of Solomon was really good and the short story Recitatif was excellent.
