 June 2002 Madame Bayaz has your gestures down... Madame Bayaz's cat, Mazlum, demanded another trip cross-country and he insisted, too, that we take it on a bus where watching the current cheap movie, Rokhsareh, is mandatory. So, we hunkered down in the back of the bus where I could stretch out and play games on my new Palm Pilot as my kitten watched the scenery from the window, pouncing between the back window and the two sides, and following the sun as it moved from the East, westward. Somewhere between Shiraz and Tabriz, I felt the gentle hand of Venus patiently curling my locks behind my ear and sliding a headphone in. I listened eagerly... I could hear my every intuition confirmed: that love enters quietly, that it leaves impatiently, and that language sometimes loses touch with its roots, forcing us to say things in gestures rather than words. Your stars this month spoke to me in gestures that can convey so much more than a thousand words... Hereís how I saw you... Mme Bayaz Farvardin: Aries Polishing your hooves... Ordibehesht: Taurus Parting your lips... Khordad: Gemini Petting the head of your darling... Tir: Cancer Shielding your eyes... Mordad: Leo Getting down on one knee and smiling a tentative smile... Shahrivar: Virgo Looking deeply into someone's eyes... Mehr: Libra Gesturing to the nearest garçon... Aban: Scorpio Doing summersaults... Azar: Sagittarius Switching channels... Dey: Capricorn Checking and re-checking the rearview mirror ... Bahman: Aquarius Brushing your hair in the kitchen... Esfand: Pisces Caressing someone's head in the soft of your elbow...
