               “ if you didn’t want any ‘i told you so’ from me, you should’ve done what i told you the first time. ” kumara regarded them, not without care in her gaze. “ there’s always tomorrow, yeah? ”

“how many times i got to tell you, miss ambi? don’t touch nothin’ over here, girl – it’s too sharp.”

the woman works delicately, yet intricately. she doesn’t mind getting her hands a little dirty – it’s her entire career, practically. pulling out the insides of another pumpkin, veda sets it aside to make into compost, allows the four year old to collect each of the seeds to eventually pop into the oven to roast. she grew up like that. “could you hand me that?” her voice breaks the somewhat comfortable silence of working, eyeing their work as they carve their own pumpkin. not as intricately. but still good. “and i hope you not expecting no pie outta this. i only work with sweet potatoes on this end – don’t go forgettin’ that you in louisiana now.”

               kumara was silent, envisioning the cartoon face over the orange skin, then chipping away at the pumpkin. her design was nowhere near as fancy or cool looking as veda’s was coming out, but she was proud of it. she picked up the tool from the corner of her eyes, then let it float veda’s way, her mind letting it go once she was sure the other had it in her grip. kum couldn’t help but to laugh a bit. “ we didn’t really have pumpkin pie growing up... always sweet potato and the occasional bean pie if my mama’s sister was over, but never pumpkin... maybe pumpkin soup sometimes... ” she noted thoughtfully. “ ’m from washington, but ’m still black veda, jeez... ” she joked, glancing over at her with a smirk.

            “ fuck, did you just see that? i hope not... ” she was trying to laugh off the fact that she’d nearly tripped on her way up the stairs, but god was that embarrassing as hell. she admired the new giant scuff on the toe of her cowboy boots and started to pick up the few things that’d fallen out of her bag in her little stunt. “ that’s beautiful as hell though... ”

           kumara bobbed her head, turning up the sound coming from her speakers a little bit more. “ you ever have a album that just like, makes you think of summer? like... feeling hot, laying around, drinking lemonade, cookouts? stillmatic does that to me, ” she grinned, her shoulders starting to move with her head, not being able to help herself.
