Question: what if I repeated the line “mom is pissed” to emphasize the longitudinal suffering of being parented by someone who is angry?

I’d be bigger than you

if you’d want me to be;

and you, for being smaller,

would tremble… as only one

has done before.

When I touched her

in the bath water

my fingers were electric—

energy pulsing through my hand—

water rippling from her breaths…

Now she plays that song

“Electric Feel” by MGMT

at her shows and I know

she remembers me.

What thought of me

will be for you

after we touch?

What song to sing?

Wood to whittle?

Clay to carve?

Love another craft

I’ve tried to master.
