Inheritance by Willie James
My sister and I are beginning to inherit the lightning blond crabgrasses and balding planes of our father and mother’s wealth.
My sister and I are beginning to inherit the lightning blond crabgrasses and balding planes of our father and mother’s wealth.
Fake meat, dry heat while fires spread and there is no great way to say this.
“Our eyes would meet / as if he were alive / (though he was never alive).”
I see a glowing oblong staring at me, / curious, alert, and fervid.
