six-word memoir(s)

I was born an island; seeking. 

we all have a mother (wound.) 

I remember: the spilling kitchen sink  

: shrimp fried rice and cockroach poison  

: the scent of my father’s cigarettes 

: Department of Children and Family Services 

the lie I live, is true. 

about this writing
