Inherited

by Gris Muñoz
Southern Cultures, Vol. 28, No. 2: Sanctuary

“I’ve never seen people watch a fire with as much sadness / as my father’s family / when they were celebrating."

They’d long forgotten to dance—
mis abuelos,
rigid as the simple white wooden screen door that snapped
open and shut into grandma’s kitchen
