repeating herself in me   she will bottle peaches and tomatoes   the bottled daughter   the strawberry daughter   on the rim of home   we speak in a drift of pattern   working floury fingers to a floury bone   in our house of shifting rooms   on Saturday morning steeped in coral   we risk the sand at Matapouri   my mother in pinch of light   grown on placenta and orchard fruit
