The Black Sea
As the next wave crowned,
the boat broke free of the Blocâs shadow,
turned its bow to the sun-crested desert,
duned. We were cradled in newsprint,
stories of our Motherlandsâ former dictators.
The bottle we passed was not vodka
but warm milk sucked through a rubber nipple.
We held our stomachs as we disembarked,
queasy with birthing ourselves
into a new world. They pulled our hands
from our waists, pushed gemstones to our palms.
Skyscrapers scratched a dry heat
and the wealthy dragged sharp objects
along our skin until we bled jewel tones:
ruby, garnet, sapphire, onyx.
