2021获奖作品欣赏Olivia YangCharlotte, North CarolinaEtymology of Loss

The day my mother died, I openedmy copy of the?Tibetan Book of Living?and Dying?for the first time. I strokedeach page, the soft fur of age glisteningbetween my fingers.?Perhaps?the deepest reason why we are afraid of deathis that we do not know who we are.?It is time nowto admit my mother’s death to be twodeaths, the first in her chamber of body,the second in a glass roomin my mind. Her departure left a silenceunderneath the tremblingof my skin, which swallowedgrief as quickly as a reassurancethat this was anything but finality.I want to think of death as a metaphorabout empty space. Yet even a ghost will gnawat its coffin. When it’s packed too tightlytogether, there’s a thickness to dustI’d never noticed before. Like the birthday cake I ate at seven — a diabetic sweetnesssmudged in icing, recoilingfrom the skin of my throat.I drag the knife across glazed fleshtenderly, as if to rouse the bodyslumbering beneath frosted casing.A sprig of pale lily rests on my platter –no, wilts upon a coffin. The light goes out.The flicker of an exhausted wick lingers, butanelicking the corners of my mother’s witheringlilac lips. I cannot rememberif she was there to witness the feast.What does death do with the bodyit discards? The same that we dowith the things we do not want. Mother,when I try to capture your face, I can only rememberyour cheekbones outlining a mouthdownturned, flushed in the rouge of anger.When I try to grieve, I openthe same book and highlight with a penthe words that can border youin your wake — a cold body stillstuck, clinging onto caking ash.But what is this? A revival? Or an erasure?To contain you, I created a roomwhich was also a ghost. The distance betweenyou and I — faceless. I keep forgettingempty space can also be a doorand even now, I wish I could enterand exit freely.But I know this is not an elegyfor I still do not know the wordsthat can contain you.
