Past Momentum intern M.K. Foster is now a published author! She just completed a PhD at the University of Alabama.

Below she shares a poem honoring her grandmother.

Evelyn


Two years after she died, I found my grandmother living

in the walls of my body, sleeping by day, waking by night—


we’re so good at being good; it’s hard to tell how bad we are


at being women. When their babies die, mother whales carry

their dead calves’ bodies in their mouths like cobalt knives,


haul like marble fists through blue glass until their dead have

blown away or apart. And a woman is supposed to dig a hole.


Or look away. I look away. In all my dreams, Evelyn and I are

either watching the ocean as we would a child playing near


the ocean, or else searching ourselves, reaching as though for

house keys in a street grate—and nothing’s bringing us closer


or taking us farther away: only the beginning of how it feels

when you bear, only to lose, your children inside your body.


She is sleeping, I tell myself when I touch the photos of her

as a young woman—her mouth, now my mouth—smiling,


doubled-over, laughing as easily as screaming, holding herself,

turning her face into the sun. She’s sleeping, so I’ve found


when I close my eyes and hold my head as I once saw her

hold a melon she caught from falling in a farmer’s market—


open my mouth, and there is nothing, but song: our ribs, like

light lost in loblollies, our skin, every sycamore in November.
