They keep asking but how will we eat? Who will cook? Will there be enough? Mother to daughter, it's always the same questions. The sisters and aunts recognize symptoms: she thinks there's no food, same as Mommy before they sent her away to that place, and she thinks if she goes, the men will eat whatever they find out of the saucepans. When our women are sane, they can tomatoes and simmer big pots of soup for the freezer. They are satisfied arranging spice tins on cupboard shelves lined with clean paper. They save all the leftovers under tight lids and only throw them away when they're rotten. Their refrigerators are always immaculate and full, which is also the case when our women go crazy. back /& forth /& frosting names are often sad
