Ironbound Fados
Ironbound Fados, a microchap - Ghost City Press - May 2019
We love these streets so much we wash them
with water and with bleach on Sunday mornings before church. In Portuguese,
I love you means let me clean this for you, and we show it with chapped hands and old rags.
excerpt from "Ironbound," in Ironbound Fados
