Typewriter

My aunt had an old typewriter

hidden in her closet. It was wrapped

in a big scarf she brought back from

the Arab Emirates. Apparently she was

a great typist, but I never saw her type

or wear that scarf. They were just there

in the bottom of the wardrobe. My cousin

and I would sometimes sneak into her

bedroom, take the typewriter out, place

a piece of paper in it and randomly start

hitting the letters. The ring of the bell

at the end of each line always made us

laugh and we’d quickly turn around

to check if someone was coming.

Provence

remember that summer when

we found an old box with dusty lavender

on the windowsill in that rented

room with a view in Provence

we threw it away

not knowing any better

in the morning as my foot

touched the white floor I saw

scorpions surrounding the bed

my screams must have woken

up the whole street

the housekeeper barged into the room

swept the scorpions off the ground

and threw them out the window

she waved her kitchen cloth at us

shouting something in French

none of us understood

then she pulled a box of lavender

out of the basket bin and put it

back on the windowsill with a smile
