after Rana Plaza

To be born is to risk the ghost

of a factory collapse

to try it on in intervals in front of the mirror.

I loved the baby doll dress like

no other. I can see it. I can see a hand

reaching out to her brother, as if to say:

we will make it out of here.

I wore it, I wore it out the

door.
