they measure millimeters of bone

to tell us who we are

where we come from

the curve of my incisors

my orbital sockets

hold pools of blue

despite their shape

I am a mixed thing

with an under bite hiding

the gap in my teeth

I broke the extra bone in my foot,

feet whose ancestors were removed

by hands whose decedents counterfeit art

in styles that were stolen

I am a mixed thing

who dreams in a language

I'm learning to speak

from a tongue that was colonized

at birth...

how will you measure me?
