Virginity

You were a sort of blood mother to me: first you held me close, for eighteen years, and then you let me go. Sharon Olds, Ode to my Hymen   Was I ever, am I ever, comfortably outside my mother? Languishing, always. A thin layer swathed around the truth of our non-resemblance, our non-penetration. Me, her daughter, a synopsis of her motherhood, tally of her attendance, packaging of her…

Drive from Barranquilla to Santa Marta along Colombia’s Caribbean coast + it waits there already—Ciénaga—Ciénaga is our plastic-wrapped end.

World on a Page
