The queen's arms are two white buoys that bob as she bathes. Her body is gently lifted in the illusion of the hot springs, the body splintered between the heat of the water and the cool of the air. Drowsy, she dreams of the ocean, of intercourse, and the continuance of waves.
AAAAAA A frog—cock-eyed, speckled, rust-colored, his skin prickly and slimed—slips into the spring, skims rocks, swims through algae, scissor-kicks up her leg and into the creases of the folds of her vulva, and sucks until her stomach cramps. The baby comes that night, is pink and white. . .
