8 | I saw two Eskimo girls playing a game \ | ||
9 | blowing on each other's' vocal chords to make music \ | ||
10 | on the tundra. I thought about how \ | ||
11 | once we played the same game \ | ||
12 | and the sounds blowing over the chords of our throats \ | ||
13 | was the same as a wind over frozen prairie. \ | ||
14 | We are the Eskimo girls who played \ | ||
15 | the game that night to keep ourselves warm. \ | ||
16 | I run my hands over [my daughter][]'s \ | ||
17 | voicebox as she hums a song \ | ||
18 | about a seal and about killing the seal and about \ | ||
19 | skinning it and rendering the blubber \ | ||
20 | into clear oil to light lamps. \ | ||
21 | I remember you are my lamp. She remembers \ | ||
22 | you although you left before she arrived. \ | ||
23 | I can never tell her about you. \ | ||
24 | I will never be able to express that taste of your oil \ | ||
25 | as we [pushed our throats together][spittle]. \ | ||
26 | I will never be able to say how \ | ||
27 | we share this blemish like conjoined twins. \ | ||
28 | I will fail you always to remember you. | ||
