Visit home from dazzling America, my old language eludes me. How to say "which is the best," "which is sweetest" by the open wounds of a watermelon that reminded me of my thirst for knowledge: huge, pink, glowing, seedless? And then it's Mercy herself saying tikim po kayo-and there's a word I recognize: tikim, as in "taste," and I answer by pointing to pineapples one of which she strips of its armor, cuts me a slice. Her knife's an eloquent glint, juice a spurt into the country daylight- Ay, ser, matamis ito! And it's the word I'm looking for: matamis, sweet, this is sweet, sir, in her hand overflowing, which I took like a cure for many things: the intervening miles of space~ the wanting in my wanting, I want to say this, this is what I want.
