I actually heard David’s sex injury the other night. It sounded like two hurtling trains meeting head-on in a tunnel, a great thunderous crash as would split the wincing moon asunder and rent the star-cloth from the vaulted dome of an embarrassed heaven. Then I woke up. It was just the trains shunting next to Crab Park. The I couldn’t sleep— the jumbled images of David’s sex injury, and crabs, and terrified, blushing angels whimpering… I drank some hot milk with almond extract and went out like a light. Thank Christ for Grandma’s medicinal recipes.
