from inside my mother i felt her
suppressed wishes
& now live them out myself
freewheeling the universe
tracing the earth’s veins
speaking with fish
my father went mad from fighting wars
and building nukes he fell
down the stairs that really
happened
i am a bomb maker’s daughter
who wanted to live
like a strawberry leaf
who bloomed with voices
in the walls
believing we were being poisoned
torched possessed
eyes in the backs of our heads
i am my mother’s daughter
with sunflower mind
i am my father’s daughter
with agent orange blood
kept the blinds closed to keep it all hid
cursed the ceiling
danced with god
god is a woman
god is a leaf
