Migration is an act inextricably bound to childhood
    the wolf womb, the open portal, the time-wound,
    the dark pines shining back eyes,
    the shineback,
    the crying woman
    the slap from a man
    the slap back
    the hole in the wall
    the fist in the girl
    the half-moon split between nations
    the obliterated nation
    the chord in the bedroom
    the milky flame
    the leaf of cloth around the child
    the found secret
    the way down
