Pakistan. Central Vietnam. Eritrea. Yemen. Soviet Russia. Her mind reeled. What was this music, and how had it wound…

With growing vim, she likens a chest to an engine waiting to be fired, the cavity within to a “darling darkness,” the heart to a tenderly cupped firefly—each metaphor diluting the machismo of the saying. By the time monet repeats the expression at the end of her verse, chanting it gently as pitter-pattering drums and hushed keys subsume her voice, “say it with your chest”…
