In Tepoztlán, Nyree and I are together in the bougainvillea hotel. We are imagining a monastery. I order a chicken stewed with tomatoes and olives. All around cats swarm our legs like wasps. A firework goes off over the side of the Tepozteco and its crack is felt over the valley. This is localism, I think, the way the sound of the plot traverses the hollow with its many hands, the way these ruptures slow time to a treacly syrup. “Not a good place for a person who has lived through war,” she says.

We Are More: Crossing the Warm Sea of Grief Crossing the Warm Sea of Grief In the end, no one was there. The army was called in. Their pockets filled with matches. The power-workers’ strike cut short. Light flooded the city, but we were not there to see it. We had boarded our ships for the warm sea of grief, the wild dogs of mourning split their pack—fleeing, at last, the home they had found behind our boundary wall. In time, the birds of night returned. The bee was never found.
