| After Our Daughter's Autism Diagnosis by Kamilah Aisha Moon |
I watched the backs
of college girlfriends
trailing off to mobile lives.
I watched them
until they were blips.
Ours was a sacred exile
then. Waterfalls
of words between us;
silhouettes in love,
tending our own.
The hours, clouds
floating past -
beds in the sky
where rain slept.
--
I often wake up dizzy,
the sun mocking us
as it douses her face.
My husband
says nothing,
his kisses
shallow.
What we don’t say
we eat.
