MY DEAD DAUGHTER
I keep getting this image in my head
of a little girl, and she has long straight dark hair
and she is quiet and she comes to me and asks me questions
and I am working, but I turn around to answer her
and she sounds really intelligent
and I treat her that way and I answer her like an adult
and then I wonder if I'm not spending enough time with her
so while I'm answering I turn off my computer
and I turn around to her and I continue to look at her
I make a point to make eye contact when I communicate with her
and I get up so we can walk to the library
as I finish answering her question
and we get to the library and I ask her
is there is anything else she wants to know
because I want to be the one to tell her the truth
and she says no
she says she doesn't need anything
and underlyingly she makes me feel as if she doesn't need me
and I think,
I gave birth to that girl, she has to need something from me
and maybe she's a smart girl
and maybe she's learned to do things on her own
maybe she does all the things I have had to do in my life
maybe she understands more than I ever did
but these are my memories
these are the memories of something that has never happened
and will it ever?
I always imagined a girl
maybe that's the maternal side of me,
being a mom and knowing women
but I never knew who the father was
and I never got her name, whenever I would have these memories
maybe she never had one
