- W2086965761 abstract "Mom into Fox, and: No Joke Jennifer Richter (bio) Mom into Fox Stroke: n., v She calls it only The Episode. The forest she roams could be called a hostile environment: Before has been wiped out. Poof. Magic. Just like that. Prowling the house at night is new, though her complaints about dogs aren’t. She travels solo now—offer her your arm and she’s all teeth. My kiss on her forehead is half an inch from the leak underneath. When will they quit asking me? she groans. Who doesn’t know the opposite of hot? Curls up, tucks head to chest, wraps around herself the fringed lap blanket. Bedtime stories used to comfort me: anything can happen. Sometimes when she talks she’s gone. I can’t follow. In the hospital I nodded, petted her legs. Her hands have always been that small. No Joke Ho Chi Minh City, 2013 Saigon chickens cross the road to get to what’s left of the rice. From their perch in an abandoned shack they hustle, clucking, to the neighbor bent before a small red altar at her door. She snips the faded mums, dusts the photographs, mounds warm rice in bowls then shares the rest. Ancestors sit grinning in their frames, the path they walk with her not linear but looped: every moment holds the other side. It’s different, I know—her history of pain and mine, the cloud of ghosts who share our homes, what we mean by being saved. I know, too: we have our families to thank for where we are. She sees me hesitate and laughs, shooing me [End Page 111] to say just keep going, you’ll be fine. Health feels like stepping off this curb, wild sea of motor scooters parting. I love it here. Chrome rushes by in sparkling waves. At times I thought I might not make it back. Even the quality of light is new, I’ve come so far.
