    all your life to remember your home, lifted,

    to sit quietly in your own garden, humming.

    We didn’t want to be queens Not then—
    We wanted not to be hollowed, not to be buried
    alive. & when they wrapped us in tarp & threw us to the ocean,
    those boys/men who’d shamed us deep [water silence] into brittle bones
    where we’d hidden our wounds we wanted
    our mothers.
