Marlowe What does ‘Marlowe’ mean? she asked. The book in her hands had a cover of a painted city. The buildings tilt in strange postures over the street. The streetwalkers have coal eyes and cunning. They wear suits without buttons. He looked out the window toward the river, the bridge a thin line of ink spread across the dusk. Marlowe is where this man, I, lived. It is not like you imagine. The houses are flat and the people are poor and they think like this: he hung his head. I walked its streets sometimes all night and the buildings would turn their backs. I left notes all over their backs. |
