to remind her the way home. Home to the cloudy
emissions of a '97 broken-windowed Volkswagen
her mother had left beside the Hamilton street curb
in Memphis.
She only went home every third day to feed
her baby stolen spam from Food Depot.
The baby her mother beat away from others eyes
and loved when she needed welfare.
She wrote "North Star" on the white of her converse
to remind her never to return home. Home away
from the dusty paper mill, or what use to be, where her brother
Mike would sell his baby sister for coke.
Umm Idk what this is?
