Summary

Someone

is talking to me

about

my brother's body.

She doesn't know

in a certain light his

hair

took the colour of

blue-black ink

and how he would

wind himself

around my mother's body

to sleep.

She doesn't

know he was

born with

one

ear-lobe curled

tight

as a shell;

how she refused

the doctors and used

those first hours

to press

the new

skin flat.
