Towers

Högalidskyrkan, Stockholm. Twin spires capped with verdigris copper, the gold topped Stadshuset in the distant fog.

When I visit my dad in Stockholm, I invariably get lost, but if can get to to the top of a hill, I can reorient myself when I find Högalid on the skyline.
The towers can tell you where you are. If I’m in Liljeholm, I look northeast, and the clock tower is behind the church, the vented one in front. If the clock tower completely blocks the view of the other, and the business end of the church goes the other way, I’ve gotten off the T-bana at the wrong stop, and I’m in Kungsholm. Again.
Oh, well. There’s a neat fabric store in Marieberg if I go straight south. See, I meant to do that.
I know where I am.

I grew up looking at towers–playing on the roof in Brooklyn Heights, in the park with the good swings at the end of Pierrepont Street, walking with Dad on the Promenade.
But my father left New York for Sweden twenty years ago, and I haven’t been back, and now I am afraid to visit, because I think I would get lost.

View of the Manhattan skyline and the World Trade Towers from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, 1989.

Sidewalk Cracks

Pink metal Hello Kitty lunchbox on cracked concrete.

Flash challenge: 100 words on the subject of revenge.

Sidewalk Cracks

“So Josie,” the thick-necked boy crooned. “What did Mommy pack for us on this fine Thursday morning?”

The tall skinny one pawed her backpack. “She’s got something hidden in here.”

“Ham and cheese,” crowed Freddy James, who apologized when the others weren’t around, “With mayonnaise.”

She stared at the quiet one in back. He watched her sometimes when he was alone, and his face grew tight and angry whenever his friends took her lunch, never hungry as the others tore her food in rough thirds.

Josie counted sidewalk cracks, walking with the hot sun behind her.

Ma packed that sandwich Monday.

Kaffir Lily

I work with an actress every so often-
I give her long sleeves to gesture with, and she gives me her patience, and conversation about women, and writing, and community, and I consume the time we share in the dressing room -me sewing buttons between monologues while she paints her face with glitter- the way I feed on books; too fast, gulping at words and concepts, rushing to get to the next course, because I will not see her for another few years, when we will meet by fate or the grace of William Shakespeare.

kaffir-3x5x721Bianca Spriggs is a poet, and I see her on the local PBS station where the term Affrilachian Artist is used to describe a literary movement, which I find both exciting and excluding -I want to be a part of something with so much definition, such identity- and I listen, smiling at the voice I’ve heard as a witch, as an Egyptian handmaiden, as a queen, and I am, as always, pulled into her voice.

I just found KAFFIR LILY in the funky coffee shop around the corner from the Caribbean cafe that has no place in this town (except this town is contrary like that, so it has one). In all our talk backstage this summer, she never told me she had a book.

It’s a slim book and reads like an actress trying on costumes: some poems svelte and lemonade fresh, some with urban rhinestone attitude, and some soft, gamine and curvy, but they are all feminine, and observant, eyes wide open and drinking in life.
From “The Switch Pickers” and “Masquerade of Queens,” to “Juke Dreams” and “My Kinda Woman,” they all have good titles. I have no favorite, though I read some more than once, and “Still Life” three, but lines find me through the day, like the echo of an imagined phone:
Tall drink of water, she got a secret sort of smile-
And some follow after, whispering like the train of a dress:
Their fragrance, an opiate,
seeps through the house from his speakers,
overlapping in heady arrangements.
He happens to be an alchemist
of genre fusion, of the hybrid bloom.

BIO

Me in a hoodie with messy pink hair, making three silly faces. The usual.

Hi! I’m obsessed with perfume and I love ridiculous cowboy boots and gourmet chocolate bars with weird stuff in them.
Tell me about a book you love!

I’m a bit mouthy and occasionally NSFW on Twitter .

My Instagram is mostly photos of my cats being cute.

Check out some of my shelves on Goodreads, or rec me your favorite books!

Find my books on my amazon.com Author page.

I’m on Fragrantica, if you’re a scent hound too.

~~~~~~

Kira A. Gold lives in Kentucky with her husband and a blue-point demon cat. A Shakespeare enthusiast and an ex-pat of cold places, she writes odd tales about fragrance, Vermont, Sweden and other magical settings.
She enjoys summer, chocolate and sleep, in no particular order.

THE DIRTY SECRET, a sexy romance from Carina Press, earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly and was a 2017 Romance Writers of America RITA© Finalist in Erotic Romance.

She is repped by Laura Zats of the Red Sofa Literary agency.
