Here is another piece I wrote, this one about
the neighborhood on 111th and Western.
"Beverly"
The rosary in
my Grandma’s hands holds Oh My Gods in the beads: slinks to life on the table, shivers when she turns away.
My one grandfather is in the cemetery. The other chops ox tail in the kitchen. He has dim eyesight, he has not told me of his friend who suffered from severed head, which Latino parks I am not to visit, or that my oldest uncle’s wife has left him for an Argentine florist. “Infidelity is the risk of the entrepreneur,” my grandfather will say, tapping his union pin.
