Fiona Wright - Twice

I think about you, mother,
at my age, on this day
that you’re suddenly twice that—
one blue-eyed child already
    banging on your saucepan lids,
another curled inside you, your worry
still abstraction.

In the photos, at my age,
(now you are exactly twice that)
your curls catch the light behind you and you stand
beside the bare brick of your house,
the windows still uncurtained.

You’ve told me that you dream, sometimes
of your children drowning,
that most painful of deaths:
        a floundering
    across all of these years.

I grow tomatoes in an old crate
and they flower, but never fruit.
This is my choice.
And it’s not messier,

it only looks that way
because it’s harder to narrate.

I look older than you did then,
my face too thin
to be forgiving.
        I too dream
        of violence.
