A brief circle formed, widening until breaking against the edges, while another and yet another emerged, expanding from the same centre. Bubbles. Boiling briefly. Gushing foam. Geyser. Light mother-of-pearl lava. Then, like a drowned man returning to the surface, a dark stain ascended, a lock of black hair opening into shining waves, splashed with hot luscious weeds.
— Severo Sarduy
