of women and gods (of learning how to pray)

"II. There is an Indian woman who lives across from our house, I see her in between the gates: she is wearing a purple shirt, taking out the trash, her hair up in a bun, and a red bindi on her forehead. She is so so big, colossal, I cannot stop looking, I think, she must be God. (even after all these years, I hope she is, still.)"
