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