the records do not list you or the other women who
have lived and loved and laughed, gave birth, and died,
the records perpetrate the myth that you were never here
but I stand whole and bare my soul and vow to find you as I live
I seach for you in old records, in churches, at the Embassy,
in small dimly lit rooms in the back of obscure libraries and archives
and pour over barely readable handwritten ledgers with magnifying
glass and flashlight I live on mainly toast these days
there isn't time for meals or much sleep
feeling as I always do, on the very brink of discovery
Perhaps this will be the day I find the one
seemingly insignificant clue, which will lead me to you
although I did not find you lested in the census records
I am not deterred, you may turn up yet.
