her
favorite
fruit
was
mango
she
would
lick
the
juice
from
her
fingers
as
she
carefully
peeled
away
the
exotic
skin
with
a
six
inch
blade
on
her
stoop
in
the
kitchen
beneath her black leather jacket was her golden heart
she
was
an
actress
saw a shrink twice a week
worked
in a what she called a titty bar to pay for the shrink
as
she
w
a
i
t

d
for
that
call
from
her
agent
the mangos were always ripe and sweet    ....

she
convinced
him
to
go
to
a
buddhist
meditation
she
had
charm
so
he
accompanied
her
incense

the
room
candles
flicked
as
they
are
prone
to
do
there
was
a
certain
quietude
as
the
meditation
began
she
sat
beside
him
lazily
casually
looking
about
the
room
he
whispered
to
her

need
she
said
