her back to me.

The picked and festered bits of her hands

must be in agony.

I stare at her as she empties the wash water

at the roots of Polly’s apple trees.

She is my daughter

I used to say ,why not put those hands to good use?

Now i don't even talk about those hands anymore

She comes home
And asks me if i know what Mad Dog’s real name
I look at her like if she is talking a different language

Like a car short of gas,

Like an engine choked with dust

But then I clear my throat

And I sing again
I rub my eyes the way my daughter does with my palm out.

Ma never did that.

I wipe the milk from my upper lip with my thumb and forefinger

Just like my daughter did

But Ma never did that either

I don’t talk to my daughter much

I was never a talker

Ma’s dying has changed that.

I get the sound from the song I sing

Waking up alone, only my shape left in the bed, outlined by dust.
I always smelled a little like her first thing in the morning]]> 2017-03-03 15:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/b0lldguo7apz/wish/157630050 thereal_lilb0y.Braylon._ https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/b0lldguo7apz/wish/157630323 Papa stares at me, maybe he is looking for Ma. Unfortunately he won't find her. I look exactly like him, I stand exactly like him, I walk across the kitchen floor with that long-legged walk oh his.
I can’t make myself over the way Ma did. And yet, if I could look in the mirror and see her in my face. If i could somehow how that Ma and baby Franklin lived on in me...
