✶
i have my father's nose,
temperament, and all his rage.
but i am my mother's dreams,
and all her grief.
i am my father's untamed rage,
and i see recognition in his eyes
whenever we stab each other with
sharp words— inflict wounds that
would leave scars for eternity— i
see a flash of recognition that i am
not my mother's unceasing forgiveness,
that i am not her and i see him lose some
of himself little by little.
