Excerpt: "Drink a cup of milk for luck. Under the orange tree by the nutmeg pool and the sun shone. Mad she tasted like honey. Mad she poured another white rum. White man pulled her into this pool of pain. Drowning she tore her dress off. The nights so hot she couldn't breathe. Couldn't even breathe out. Dispel him. Pain like love racked her body. Threw her mind out the door and under the pink heat moon."
