Transcript of Facing It Project-Marisa & Samantha
My black face fades, Hiding inside the black granite.I said I wouldn’t,Dammit: No tears.I’m stone. I’m flesh.My clouded reflection eyes meLike a bird of prey, the profile of the nightSlanted against morning
I turn this way—the stone lets me
go.
I turn that way—I’m inside
The Vietnam Memorial
again, depending on the light
to make a difference.
I go down the 58,022 names,
Half-expecting to find
My own in letters like smoke.
I touch the name Andrew Johnson.
I see the booby trap’s white flash .
Names shimmer on a woman’s
blouse
but when she walks away
the names stay on the wall.
A white vet’s image
floats
Closer to me, then his
pale eyes
Look through mine.
I’m a window.
He’s lost his right arm
Inside the stone.
