The History of Science and Magic
When the laws of nature intercede on her behalf, footprints are sent scurrying in every direction, and when the coordinates mimic the exact measurements needed to trigger the alchemical vessels that seduce the weather, that whir and hum like simian lanterns held up to warn of impending dangers and invisible locks, she enters the forest from behind, where the spirits speak only Spanish and the nights are without equal. It is necessary to harness these wonders. The minerals of distraction... Molecules of light. When she places her hand on the left side, only the brightness of a sudden recognition prevails. When her hair accidently flounders in your eyes, she is the invisible word of a transparent body. Realities pass through that word on the way to your mouth...
She is the emerald battling with the ruby: fire and water as a way of life. She will kill someone tonight, and bring them back to life again, just for the joy of it...
