— Victoria Chang, from “Dear Mother,” Dear Memory: Letters on Writing, Silence, and Grief

from The Trees Witness Everything
Every leaf that falls
never stops falling. I once
thought that leaves were leaves.
Now I think they are a feeling,
in search of a place—
someone’s hair, a park bench, a
finger. Isn’t that
like us, going from place to
place, looking to be alive?
