Quote by Susana Villalba

“Adiós, mi compañero. Mi casa, mi nombre de animal. Adiós piel de venado con su olor, el pelo acostumbrado a su postura y el hueco de su abrazo. Adiós mi sujetado corazón a la única frontera que es la vida. Adiós a la multitud en uno solo. La única parte en que me pueden herir donde me duela. Adiós mi lengua, un tono que tuve al alabarte. Adiós a tu modo agazapado de caer. No puede uno morder su soledad sino como alacrán que se envenena”

“The scents bring us back. That’s what Mr. Agrawal says. He says the scents of summer are the most potent, the most enduring. The sun beats hard in Duxton, Massachusetts, in late July. It shrivels soft things: flower petals, the worms that struggle up through the ground after a midday shower. The sun here cares nothing for exteriors. It is interested only in essences, the soft middles. Mr. Agrawal doesn’t bother to pick the ripening tomatoes in the garden, infested with rangy weeds and fat iridescent beetles. He says he likes the smell of the flesh once the heat has sizzled the peel. --from "Wayward," a short story by Chandra Prasad in MIXED: An Anthology of Short Fiction on the Multiracial Experience”
