"I was hungry
" she told Denver
"just as hungry as I could be for his eyes. I couldn't wait."So she raised up on her elbow and dragged herself

toward the youngwhite voice talking about "Who that back in there?"" 'Come see
' I was thinking. 'Be the last thing you behold
' and sure enough here e the feet so Ithought well that's where I'll have to start God do what He would
I'm gonna eat his feet off. I'mlaughing now
but it's true. I wasn't just set to do it. I was hungry to do it. Like a snake. All jawsand hungry.
"It wasn't no whiteboy at all. Was a girl. The raggediest-lookingtrash you ever saw saying
'Look there. A nigger. If that don't beat all.' "And now the part Denver loved the best: Her name was Amy and she needed beef and pot liquorlike nobody in this world. Arms like cane stalks and enough hair for four or five heads. Slow-moving eyes. She didn't look at anything quick. Talked so much it wasn't clear how she couldbreathe at the same time.

were as strong as iron.

and instead offangs and a split tongue
out shot the truth.
