Interview
​
My love does not know his name.
That isn’t true, exactly. He has a name. He has a first name, named after a saint. He has a middle name, which I’ve never seen him write beyond an initial. He has a last name, which sometimes he tells me are roses and sometimes he tells me are a field of horses. One day I look it up and I see it means gardenia, in Spanish, in Tagalog, the same word in two different languages because the Spanish conquered his people.
