I recall

1

I recall my mom’s hips, toes, and breasts

step out come forward take off

the silver mirror no longer reflecting my goose skin but hers

what do you know about me in relation to how you care

what do you remember in relation to how you forget

the time in relation to when

I am in relation to where your voice

wires in relation to wireless telecommunication

your warmth in relation to the kilometers

where in relation to when

and always

in relation to the time you woke me up in the mornings

your gestures in reflection of

my mirror in relation to

your mirror

I am

in relation to where

and to you

I recall my grandma listening to the radio

I dial the number

to order her favorite song

but it does not ring a bell
