“Transitioning”

“You pronounce it mix. Try it with me, children. Mix Rogers.”
“Mix Rogers.”
“Well done. Any questions?”
“Do you have a cold, Mx. Rogers?”
“No. I am feeling better than I have in a long time.”
“Did you go to Disneyland?”
“No. I was absent for personal care.”
“Your voice sounds different.”
“Well,” said Mx. Rogers, pointing at every student, “a voice is a unique instrument, isn’t it?”

“Letter from the Past”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You sent dandelions
by mail after a decade of silence
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I fry an egg for my unborn girl
tell her the story of our day by the river
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ice-cream
hands sticky
NYC humidity
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She is an apparition
a letter-bead big
but can hear the sizzle
smell the butter
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She will not make the mistake
of loving a taken man
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My memories of your skinny arms
are her memories
her ears are dimples
as she curls into the home of me
and listens to songs
that remind us
how full life could have been
together
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
how full it is
far away from East Coast honeysuckle
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Bernadette McComish earned an M.F.A. from Sarah Lawrence and an M.A. in TESOL from Hunter. Her poems have appeared in The LA Press, Cortland Review, and Peregrine. She has published two chapbooks: The Book of Johns and Florence Nightingale's Lost Log
