my mother wrote in
a black and white journal,
“my boy smiles when he hears me sing”
and
“i hope he never stops smiling.”
i’m going to thread these words
into the soft flesh next to my heart.
my mother has shaped me into this spirit
that’s trying to embody my love
that I have left to give.
My mother wrote in
A black and white journal
The date of the very first time I had ever laughed
It was my first day on earth.
Underneath that you wrote I hope he always laughs
