"Bel + Daniel”
Miranda Yearwood
Bel 14:6, The New American Bible, Revised Edition
Then the king continued, “You do not think Bel is a living god? Do you not see how much he eats and drinks every day?”
Bel didn’t talk to me, he spoke through me.
Let me show you a trick.
Bel stood in front of me in his now ash-white cloak cold, hood covering his blue crystal curls. He had a Gandalf grandfather grizzle to him. Cerulean pools for eyes, sharp beak of a nose.
Missing a few teeth. Constantly chewed on the end of a stogie. But it was the beard that got me, a greasy lapis lazuli beard grown long. Made from actual clusters of this lustrous blue stone.
It was magnificent. The blues were more than basic. Layers of hued blues creating oceans and streams where your eyes swim. Flecks of black granite and veins of crystal quartz weave through. Magnanimous facial hair if ever there was such.
He pulled out what made me squirm at first, thinking it was an alien shrink-ray. Oh, it was just a portable light. I had a black light in my bedroom left over from the teenage foster boy before me. It glowed like that...

”Red Juice Stains On a Rayon Blouse”
Miranda Yearwood
She sat watching the soap operas at lunch time wondering how the women could afford such fine jewelry, designer clothes, the time to fix their hair so bouffant. Obviously they didn’t work a job that required collared shirts with sewn name badges or plastic gloves, but whatever job they had they definitely made some serious moola. They all had the most flamboyant lives, good looking sons, and well-polished silver. She wanted all of that plus more. In fact, the women could keep the high drama if they just gave her the rest of their daily lives.
At night when she watched the nightly news her heart went into palpitations. She worried that the person a hundred miles away stalking the streets would break down her screen door and jerk her out of her bed. A hundred miles he would come, just for her. By morning she was watching the news again, this time to find out what the weather would be like, just before getting dressed for her day.
The people she worked with would discuss the latest CNN headlines over lunch, and their boss would erupt from his closed office to make big announcements as they came over the air of the 24 hour news network. Sometimes the group of workers would get angry, laugh or break out stories of their past based on the latest news. Whatever was happening in the world meant something, even if just a little something…
