The Paris Review
The Last of Her Mother's Lot
I am most interested in people who declare gratitude for their childhood beatings. None of them took what my mother gave, waking us for school with sharp slaps to our bare thighs. That side of the family is darker. I should be grateful, so i will be. No one on earth knows how many abortions. Ha, and before a woman risked her freedom by giving that risk a name, by taking it to breast,. It can't get much darker than that. She thanks me by kissing my sons gratitude is black. Black as a hero returning from war to a country that banked on his death. Thank god.
