Memory is
a selection of images,
some elusive,
others printed indelibly
on the brain.
The summer I killed my father,
I was 10 years old.
My brother Poe
was nine,
and my sister Cisely
had just turned 14.
The town we lived in
was named after a slave.
It's said that when
General Jean Paul Batiste
was stricken with cholera,
his life was saved by the medicine
of a slave woman called Eve.
In return for his life,
he freed her and gave her
this piece of land by the bayou.
Perhaps in gratitude,
she bore him 16 children.
We are the descendants of
Eve and Jean Paul Batiste.
I was named for her.
