"In bed at 4PM
I held my pillow
and thought “oh well”
in regards to my entire life."

i lost a whole continent.
a whole continent from my memory.
unlike all other hyphenated americans 
my hyphen is made of blood.
when africa says hello
my mouth is a heartbreak
because i have nothing in my tongue
to answer her.
i don’t know how to say hello to my mother.
