- W4376543607 abstract "Two Truths and a Lie Cat Wei (bio) I am afraid to die.Once, I swallowed the eggs of a sea turtle, slept all night on the sand, full moon tailing the darkness.I don't know how to lie. I bought a thousand-dollar bike.I did it in hopes of saving a relationship.Money never saved a broken heart, tale as old as time. My mother suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to my sister.Often, she left me at home alone with the baby until god knows, returned with bags full of moon shine, trays full of fish tails.My bladder held through the tide. Once I glued a blue fin to the top of a sea turtle hoping to protect it from sharks; I lived to tell the tale.I grew a shell and buried my eggs in the sand.The turtles hatched but instead of swimming, their small flippers grew into wings sending them moonward. None of my bad dreams have come true.But some of my old hopes have.My hope for my ex-boyfriends is that they grow fins and a tailbone. [End Page 53] Sometimes I listen to my neighbors having sex.Ear to the adjoining wall, I bent over and licked myself, a snake biting its own tail.I told my subletter it's quiet here, and tailed it around the block. I have never been the second one to say I love you.Whenever things end I realize it was never love just hope tailing a man's shadow.I've given too much of what I've lost. Tired of myself, I slough off my old skin and use it for fodder.In it are flashes of hope, memory, amber, and dust.In the moonlight rising, my shadow has a tail.
