My Favorite Poem I’ve Written:
I Tell My Mother I Want Another Name
She says: names are rivers.
Once you cross,
you can’t swim back.
I think of how she changed hers
on a plane between continents.
Left half of it floating
somewhere over the Pacific.
When I was born,
she gave me a name
light enough to carry
through customs.
Now it drapes
like a borrowed coat
across my shoulders.
I want a name
thick with salt
and hard consonants.
A name that tastes
like the village
she never speaks of.
