Passages: Start of Summer

SUMMER
Robin Coste Lewis

Last summer, two discrete young snakes left their skin  on my small porch, two mornings in a row. Being

postmodern now, I pretended as if I did not see them, nor understand what I knew to be circling

inside me. Instead, every hour I told my son to stop with his incessant back-chat. I peeled

a banana. And cursed God—His arrogance, His gall—to still expect our devotion

after creating love. And mosquitoes. I showed my son the papery dead skins so he could

know, too, what it feels like when something shows up at your door—twice—telling you what you already know.
