Do you know now
Wherever whatever you are
The threads between us hum
I try to remember their song
My fingers pinch pulling, pushing
Pixels around to find you
The sky outside your window
In 1945
Millenial ancestor work, take a walk
Down a street on google view
Mitochondria and trauma
Nodding in passing recognition
Typing and retyping
Your name and your other name
Trying to find your obituary
Your face in her face, my face
Your cuts so sharp they crossed
Continents, me learning how
to suture them all from the future
Tracing screens now, watching
Documentaries about war reading
Textbooks, diagnoses, mythology
Folklore -- peeling garlic, peeling back
the tin of anchovies, stirring the pot
Holding out the spoon for you to taste
millenial peeling!
