Her She's Kiss
"What's that?" Grandma asks on the day you're born.
Pointing with a finger, crooked from overuse,
she stands behind me, my back to her breast,
as I give you a bath in the palm of my hand,
I trace the symmetry of your birth.
A kiss from chocolate covered lips,
at the base of your shoulder blade.
"Our wing." I answer.
