In this order Poem by Laura Kasischke

In this order



A tail, a torso, a tiny face.
A longing, a journey, a deep belief.
A spawning, a fissioning, a bit of tissue
anchored to a psyche,
stitched to a wish.
Watery. Irony. Memory. My
mother, my face, and then

the last thing
she'd ever see, and then
the last words
I'd hear her say: You're
killing me.
