“Sweet mother, I cannot weave –
slender Aphrodite has overcome me
with longing for a girl.”

“emptying out of my mother's belly
was my first act of disappearance
learning to shrink for a family
who likes their daughters invisible
was the second
the art of being empty
is simple
believe them when they say
you are nothing
repeat it to yourself
like a wish
i am nothing
i am nothing
i am nothing
so often
the only reason you know
you're still alive is from the
heaving of your chest”

you both have the same eyes

we share the same wilting fingers
but that rage your mother doesn't wear that rage
you're right
this rage is the one thing
i get from my father”
