What I Am Hoping My Children Look Like
paper daughter
this year, it is my turn to burn
something for the ancestors. my family a burial
ground pillaged by grief. my mother
walks past the library of gravestones
searching for my name. i forge her
a daughter from paperwork
carved out of my old passport’s rotting
mouth. here: a single crude cut dress.
a full head of hair framing her face. i fashion
a girlhood from the ashes & see my body
returning to me in smoke. a trick of the eyes,
how i fabricate the perfect illusion before
i disappear as a nightgown laced
with salt. last smolder of incense through the throat.
naturalization. return towards dirt. riot to dust.
