ILLUSTRATED OCTAVIA BUTLER DO-IT-YOURSELF SESTINA

THINGS SEEN RIGHT & LEFT WITHOUT GLASSES

August 2020

Sometimes I feel like a motherless town

full of fathers who get custody of their sons

in the divorce, a town of hotels & campers

and men & boys who speak as strangers

but feel the blood they share.

I remember the policeman arrested the child

after hitting him so hard, his face caved

in the nightmare & the sound woke me.

My cry can be heard if you lay an ear

to my Adam’s apple, named so as proof

it was Adam that tried to swallow

where Eve only tried to bite the fruit.
