TRANSCRIPT
wait here until your boneshave calcified, hair statued into a messy knot, and heart rocked into a forever contraction of your right ventricle.
let your still breath be the windaround your daughter's pigtail,let her know you left her, but youlove her. when the seasons begin
to forget how to make you sweat and shiver, or when the dark betweenlights lasts only a minute, go backto the grass that made you, because
even as the world shifts aroundyou, the debt of your heartbeat has been paid, and your
mother can turn again.
