by Julianna Baggott

May 26, 2021

I remember how, when we got word that it was okay to emerge, my parents opened the front door. My mother was holding an aluminum baseball bat, my father had a shovel. The three of us were in our hazmat suits. (Mine had grown a little taut. I was eleven years old and had gotten taller and rounder.) Our breaths were trapped in our masks.

his bright impatiens in their beds, apple trees,
            to which he earlier rose on his cane and leaned

            surrounded in floral-sweet fragrance,

from where your father says, And, no one wants you to be
            bitter.

with fleck and mottle. But O—
her silver likeness. Long forsaken

the mirror: the edges, now light moves
straight through. Shrug or shudder.
