Nokomis Groves by Meg Kelleher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Who would I be if fear were not
my twin? Still me, still dreaming<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of wasted oranges? Sore & sour
as sweet long untouched,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but for the branch and its pinched
calculations\u2014each limb here cups<\/p>\n\n\n\n

an untapped sun. Daughter
of red tides, of coasts painted<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in pain, I was hatched
to be cross-hatched, a stitch<\/p>\n\n\n\n

drawn in my skin. & from it
the line is juddering<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to the peach-cheeked squatter
who shows me life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

is but a license for haunting.
She mutters, You’re the child<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

you lost<\/em>. A mystery, a hide
to tear into with my teeth. I trap<\/p>\n\n\n\n

what’s left in the heat
of my palm: a dimpled skin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in my fish-shape that turns
over & will not heed my calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So all my silver will spill on sand,
unclaimed. Who would take me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

when the light gives itself away?<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
