"from The Sky Forever" [to say your land vanished] Poem by Kimberly Alidio

to say your land vanished into thinness scrap under your feet

when the name feels the same in the mouth who is the most hysterical person

to say I was never meant to the origin moment do you remember laughing

be about poetry's originating in childhood trauma when the first American boot

hit the ground in a cloud of dust maybe before that you're killing me
