Heirloom MAG
January 19, 2013
Last night at dinner,
Dad watched me push on
a bump on my back,
massaging it with three fingers
in circular motions.
Hold my neck up high,
make a straight line,
shoulders back,
the bump still there.
“Your mother had that, you know.
Just get used to it.”
The only piece of you in me
is something I don't want.
