Curtsy (A Sampler for Staci)

Curtsy.

my daughter
doesn’t care for cursive

a tedious skill to master
the curves of letters,
though beautiful
deem themselves unnecessary

keypads aren’t made of
parchment, quail and ink

she writes poetry
with her thumbs
asking me to translate
the cryptic script i composed
as a gift for her
while in my womb

the love i have...
constantly obsolete.
