Mothra<\/p>\n

Her brother returned late at night. He opened his arms, showering her bed with wrapped and tied things. His face in the TV light dissolving, reconstituting. I\u2019ve seen this one, he said. And she told him don\u2019t leave, I\u2019ll change it! Her hands in a panic, feeling all over, knocking things off.<\/p>\n

Sidereal<\/p>\n

When they were young, their father sent mittens in red and green, forgetting it was summer there and that their hands had become large and grasping. And that now they ran shirtless like pagans under southern stars. They took his gifts and dressed up the tree like a sentry, a monster with four hands.<\/p>\n
