Fashioning Among mourners at a Greek wake, I sip Metaxa out of mini goblets, accept as natural the fainting spells and formal cleavage everywhere. Everyone is connected, the long spine of history bending to clutch elbows. Figuring out how to avoid the mati,* I stick close to the quiet uncle, though Dimitra has whittled him down until he’s barely a man. Others are too busy batting away grief to notice my chalk skin, marble eyes, lineage a mottled pear. For once, I am noisy too, slip on a convincing genealogy, pound my fists into the couch. Just let Eleni try to insult my imagined mother. I’ll get her back. With vicarious boldness. * mati (Greek): evil eye
