The Knife Game

Lavender replied on the back of a postcard of the Portrait of Dora Maar.

dear aunty kobo
i agree with you picasso is a hopeless painter. just look at what he made of dora maar. but even so you can tell she's very pretty. black green and purple hair and yellow skin, two noses and a smiling kissy mouth, red nails on the end of banana fingers, a geometric patterned green and purple tee shirt under an open black jacket and a red and black checked skirt.

oh aunty kobo i wish i could wear clothes like that

i wish i could wear clothes

the knife game you know what that is aunty kobo. you spread your fingers on the table and you stab between your fingers with a knife. you do it fast. one by one in all the spaces between the fingers. you can do it blindfold if you like. oh! it is so dangerous. dora did it in a restaurant and picasso saw her cut her fingers and he fell in love and she was pretty too that helped.

next time i will send you a postcard of the kiss. you will like the kiss you always dream of kissing ageless. don't think that baby pierre and i don't know. the kiss is like a picture of you and ageless kissing in real life. it makes me feel all squirmy yuck! but you will like it aunty kobo. so will he

well that is all for now from your niece lavender

ps i like the story of sophie aunty kobo. what did she do to drive her mummy's new husband away??? and what's wrong with her liking older men??? i like older men. does she like the guardian of the cemetery???
