FACING IT

By: Samantha Haynes and Marisa Ebron
My black face fades,
Hiding inside the black
granite.
I said I wouldn’t,
Dammit: No tears.
I’m stone. I’m flesh.
My clouded reflection eyes
me
Like a bird of prey, the
profile of the night
Slanted against morning
I turn this way—the stone lets me
go.

I turn that way—I’m inside

The Vietnam Memorial

again, depending on the light

to make a difference.
I go down the 58,022 names,

Half-expecting to find

My own in letters like smoke.

I touch the name Andrew Johnson.
I see the booby trap’s white flash .

Names shimmer on a woman’s
blouse

but when she walks away

the names stay on the wall.
Brushstrokes flash, a red bird’s
wings cutting across my stare.
The sky. A plane in the sky.
A white vet’s image
floats
Closer to me, then his
pale eyes
Look through mine.
I’m a window.
He’s lost his right arm
Inside the stone.
In the black mirror

a woman’s trying to
erase names:

No, she’s brushing a
boy’s hair..
