raze
they
say
what's
killing
you
is
surging
through
your
veins
.
you
know
better
.
it's
the
meal
you
ate
alone
this
morning
in
a
dimly
-lit
diner
.
you
don't
feel
like
someone
who's
about
to
die
.
you
just
feel
hot
and
nauseous.
maybe
you're
in
love
.
the
tag
tacked
onto
an
unworn
t
-shirt triggers
a
memory
that
isn't
mine
,
and
for
a
moment
my
grandfather's
ghost
is
with
us
in
the
unsettled
stomach
of
a
static
train
.
we
rise
and
balance
on
the
blades
of
our
feet
,
two
boned
birds
learning
to
glide
without
the
gift
of
flight
.
a
white
-haired
woman
watches
us
take
our
first
steps
.
she
keeps
her
contour
feathers
hidden
so
the
world
won't
see
what
she
used
to
be
.
