you don't remember (how can you not remember)
this is how a mother speaks
memory, speak
your eyes are lit in 16 year neuron firework
i am reaching toward a
nursing infant
the door slams so closely against my face
i feel it's soft sob and shake
California
the great cry of your unknown heart
pouring in drywall
in staccato
the Mormons at the door assure me
God will protect
God
all night the living room we hold hands, look
toward your room
the tv
silent, the perfect Poltergiest
a vortex in the place of
our faces
my worst fears live inside the couch
they eat our sweat
like candy.

Someone may have stolen your dream when it was young and fresh and you were innocent. Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible. -Jane Rubietta

My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush
