my mother swears on the spitting image
of my son she would sure use a 20 year
old baby boat for proof says he solves
puzzles like I did smiles like I did
love’s like I did and she’ll show me
when she finds it that is the whole
movie i cauterized because i can’t
swallow my father’s smile his soft style
as he saw the silo which held our family
weather vane when it felt the first wave
of the hurricane when he left he said he
never set foot back in Minnesota my
heart aches in my dark places because I
started breaking still try my best to
understand even in the summer that my
son was born I am too divided into three
when I was six I had my first suicidal
fantasy I can’t remember what was wrong
but a piece of me wanted to belong at
the bottom of the lake for the water to
the stake me distinctly just to sink my
son turns three turned three this July
six and three years he is still perfect
still trips on slippery surfaces he is
still an innocent silhouette and I am
still so softly spoken when there was
something that I should have said I
swear all stairs so cellophane when he
starts swimming and if God wants me not
to teach my son to tread water and he
better tear my skin from my skeleton
make my pen powerless…
