Sometimes, I cry so hard I can feel it in my ribs. / I feel like the real me is backed into a corner inside me

— Ama Asantewa Diaka, from "Saturday Evening WhatsApp Message," Woman, Eat Me Whole

The plum you're going to eat next summer

by Gayle Brandeis

The plum you’re going to eat next summer doesn’t exist yet; its potential lives inside a tree you’ll never see in an orchard you’ll never see, will be touched by a certain number of water droplets before it reaches you, by certain angles of light, by a finite amount of bugs and dust motes and hands you’ll never know. The plum you are going to eat next summer will gather sugar, gather mass, will harden at its center so it can soften toward your mouth. The plum you’re going to eat next summer doesn’t know you exist. The plum you are going to eat next summer is growing just for you.

minha nova amiga.

eu fiz uma nova amizade, ela se chama ana

a ana é delicada

a ana parece um anjo

a ana flutua como uma pena,

em brisas fracas.

a ana disse que eu posso mudar

ela disse que eu posso ser igual a ela

ela me contou que eu ficaria linda

a ana disse que podia me transformar

ela disse que iria doer um pouco

mas ela me contou que era necessário

a ana disse que borboletas são lindas

ela disse que eu deveria ser uma

mesmo que custassem minhas asas

eu perguntei para ana

“mas do que seria da borboleta sem suas asas?”

e ela me respondeu

de uma forma tão clara

e então eu entendi.
