    The secret house. When she died I went there. Ma'am wouldn't let me go outside in the yard andeat with the others. We stayed inside. That hurt. I know Grandma Baby would have liked the partyand the people who came to it, because she got low not seeing anybody or going anywhere — justgrieving and thinking about colors and how she made a mistake. That what she thought about whatthe heart and the body could do was wrong. The whitepeople came anyway. In her yard. She haddone everything right and they came in her yard anyway. And she didn't know what to think. Allshe had left was her heart and they busted1 it so even the War couldn't rouse2 her.

  She told me all my daddy's things. How hard he worked to buy her. After the cake was ruined andthe ironed clothes all messed up, and after I heard my sister crawling3 up the stairs to get back toher bed, she told me my things too. That I was charmed4. My birth was and I got saved all the time.

  And that I shouldn't be afraid of the ghost. It wouldn't harm me because I tasted its blood whenMa'am nursed me. She said the ghost was after Ma'am and her too for not doing anything to stop it.

  But it would never hurt me. I just had to watch out for it because it was a greedy ghost and neededa lot of love, which was only natural, considering. And I do. Love her. I do. She played with meand always came to be with me whenever I needed her. She's mine, Beloved5. She's mine.

  I AM and she is mine. I see her take flowers away from leaves she puts them in a round basket theleaves are not for her she fills the basket she opens the grass I would help her but the clouds are inthe way how can I say things that are pictures I am not separate from her there is no place where Istop her face is my own and I want to be there in the place where her face is and to be looking at ittoo a hot thing All of it is now it is always now there will never be a time when I am not crouchingand watching others who are crouching7 too I am always crouching the man on my face is dead hisface is not mine his mouth smells sweet but his eyes are locked some who eat nasty8 themselves Ido not eat the men without skin bring us their morning water to drink we have none at night Icannot see the dead man on my face
