6I saw two Eskimo girls playing a game \
7blowing on each other's' vocal chords to make music \
8on the tundra. I thought about how \
9once we played the same game \
10and the sounds blowing over the chords of our throats \
11was the same as a wind over frozen prairie. \
12We are the Eskimo girls who played \
13the game that night to keep ourselves warm. \
14I run my hands over my daughter's \
15voicebox as she hums a song \
16about a seal and about killing the seal and about \
17skinning it and rendering the blubber \
18into clear oil to light lamps. \
19I remember you are my lamp. She remembers \
20you although you left before she arrived. \
21I can never tell her about you. \
22I will never be able to express that taste of your oil \
23as we pushed our throats together. \
24I will never be able to say how \
25we share this blemish like conjoined twins. \
26I will fail you always to remember you.
