It was what Jove had said a few months ago when he had been holding my wrist, too tightly, across a restaurant table. She was still holding my hand and what I did was outside of anything I had imagined I would do. I leaned across the narrow table and kissed her. My head was engaged and I was pushing out of my mother's chthonic underworld into my father's world of difficulty and dream. I never expected to go back down again. When she ate her scones she left a snail-trail of soot along her upper lip. Her neighbour called her 'Blackmouth'. My grandmother called her neighbour 'Stinkpad' but otherwise they were friendly, exchanging handkerchiefs and soap at Christmas. Cowardice bedshares with arrogance. I was afraid and I wanted to bluff my way out. The kiss was a smoke bomb to cause confusion and distract attention.
