He stares me dead in the eye and says: "You are in Homer, Alaska. You were meant to land in Barrow." "Javelina, what's my name?" His snout flares with smoke, hot and wild above his drooling mouth, and he says: "You are Arisawe, both the curse and the promise of God. You were born up the creek in solitude. You are one of thousands of unfound women. You are one of thousands of unnamed men. You are the shadow's wife. You are a skunk pig, like me." He spits and where his saliva lands, a tiger lily blooms.
