7 Ohms/ 7 Oms
Every sunrise mounts a pulse
like the resurrection of a dead language.
You will never be so brave
as the first time you let go of your mother’s hand.
Baby girl:
set the table
with bones and innards rich in expectations.
We gorged
on wood tigers and Sagitta
slaked our thirst on stacks of books.
Crumb snatchers, we ruled as Kushites unhurried
and unfettered by menstrual squalls of appetite -
couldn’t tell us anything…
