By Skylar Peck

for my cousins on the other side of the 38-seon*

 i wonder / could we have been // (real) family / had they not
chiseled our / fate & had jo-//-seon not been / scissored apart. scarred.
i beg this / epistolary // not become an / elegy

 

*38-seon: the 38th parallel north, the line that divides North and South Korea
