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