Curious In Cali:
He kills her every night and in the morning she assumes new flesh that molds around her bones like a robe and she stumbles downstairs. He's made breakfast.
He watches her eat and remembers how she looked transfixed by the moon last night lying in a shallow puddle of moonlight looking bled out, the red all out of her looking also up at him. He felt like the Minotaur. He felt like Achilles.
When he took his hands away from her thighs finally he left a crude signature of himself there in the form of ten beauty spots against her whiteness, a constellation of hurt.
They say Achilles knew Hippolyta best in the moment he rammed his spear through her sternum and she bled out in his arms, his amazon, like Shakespeare said in Midsummer his "buskinned mistress and warrior love." He understands this most perfectly when he holds her windpipe closed and her eyes dilate like a door opening and she grabs his wrist and helps him choke her.
She is unsteady on her feet in her new body reborn as she is, a fresh lamb tottering to the teat. Kissing her neck and shoulders, he helps her to walk. Don't Be Condescending she says and he laughs and says Make Me and she tears at him and laughs too.
