Havana

The Cuba zone of the eighth floor: a memory of Havana two weeks before Christmas — floating ghosts, tourists, cars that appear from nowhere, saferooms everywhere, the Colón cemetery, a zoo of illusions, suburbs of hovels and churches, a coast of crabs and seals — burned to the waterline by Carl's steps and scoured clean by a portal in the sky.
