“I could not stop wasting time. It was crazy. I wanted to do something with my life, but instead I went to sleep, or sung in the shower, or sat and stared at the wall. I couldn’t even tell you about anything that I saw. I didn’t talk to anybody. The cicadas kept dying outside, and as I dreamed, my mouth grew thick and venomous with silence.”

One day you will eat tomatoes like she taught you and you will teach this to someone else you will learn to love, juice dribbling down your chins. You will take the salt in your hand and shake it onto the fruit’s raw wound. Like this, you’ll say, raising the globe to your lips. Like this.

Leila Chatti, "What Will Happen"

And the storm came on so quick – the thunder was an aftershock in my ears. I had been blinded – all I could hear was the rain, and how everything rushed down the roads in a feral river.”
