i remind myself of what’s awful, maybe for example, i’m a black & white picture of the way you were on your first day of school: wary, filled with what felt like blood & bones, outside yourself in the corner of the film eyes behind the hands that both hold yours &  fill you when other people are asleep you’re five years old  there’s an abandoned ribbon sneaking its way out of your hair before they go missing, the luckiest things are seen, or touched others are loved

I have my fathers nose and all his rage, but I have my mother's face and all of her grief.

Rage I have learned to wear. My mother's grief however, folds my spine and lives beneath my ribs. It gets heavier and heavier.
