Pillars of Salt - Spring 2019

She Says My Name She says my name with an accent. i don’t like my name, it gives up too much about me. It says that i am my parents, it says that i am not mine. But somehow, i don’t mind it as much when my name comes from her purple lips. She, of course, would say that she says my name normally And i’m the one with the accent. My parents say it the way i do (with or without an accent, depending on who you ask), and maybe that’s why i like it so much better when she says it, with her accent and her purple lips. It says that i’m not my parents, not even my own i’m hers. And i don’t mind that so much, No; i don’t mind that so much at all. Maddie Fenster ‘20 Pillars of Salt 41
