iv. Barterings

The new owner entreated my mother to leave behind

the heavy, cream-coloured pleated curtains she’d sewn

to fit over the view of the brick-backed, modular rowhouses

behind us, and behind them, indistinctly, the Flats, and then

the many-named Kitcisìpi. No one could see into our lives,

so we’d rarely drawn them shut. My mother dug up

the white, empty-headed peonies but they took years to orient

themselves in a new, coastal city. I should’ve buried

something mythic, but ours were not the names

to be hand-lettered onto signposts or etched in loam.
