Poetry

Two Poems by Aline Mello

Family Keepsake

My grandmother wanted to die

but in the online form, I say no,

no family member has died by

or attempted suicide 

because 

having children,

no matter the goal, 

is still giving life. Because

that’s what blood is.

The psychiatrist asked

if she’d tried to kill herself before.
