GROUNDHOG DAY Salina Molina On the day I found my first gray hair Three and a half legs on a coyote Wandered through my parking lot In search of a restful place to lay My face cringed with the uneven saunter My heart broke at the pack animal’s loneliness My soul wept for the anxious smile on its face A dying coyote, always my February omen On the day I found my first gray hair Two pieces of first quarter moon Hung in the air from a bright red string Like a Raytheon-branded stress ball Glowing fluorescent neon and needlessly Forcing me back into a Spencer’s Gifts So I can pay my formal respects To versions of myself that never came to be On the day I found my first gray hair Sixteen-year-old me ditched class In the body of a twenty-six-year-old And felt like an asshole about it, but still Insisted on grabbing anxiety’s hand, excuses’ leg So I could run far, far away into an abyss with them Where we swapped recipes and clicked pens Sitting in a semicircle to feel less alone 144
On the day I found my first gray hair A queer friendly show about bondage Freed me ten episodes in, self-imposed Restraints lifted by appreciative laughter Now vacant to use as anchors to dream reality A reality where the feeling of being seen by myself Is a given rather than an earned privilege And I never wake up from the dream On the day I found my first gray hair One strand of silk began to glow from the top of my head I learned to treasure the Easter grass I was sprouting My mind’s pores revealed to me a diamond tether I discovered a piece of rainbow tinsel growing Out of my skull, so bright, so shiny, so youthful, So vibrant, my mirror’s new best friend, wisdom Fostered by trauma and funneled through a follicle 145
