  1. It was the birth of a movement. It sprang forth from our own bodies, groping for sustenance and stumbling.

  4. the beginning of me as I know me. Thanks to my parents and all the influences between then and now. All the answered and unanswered prayers that got me to where I am today. The birth of my two daughters probably the best thing that ever happened to me. My legacy!

  5. Llegamos a la vida en medio de fluidos y ansiedad. Aspiramos una bocanada de vida y apenas sólo sea el primer trauma que nos brinda.

  8. I remember what I was wearing the day my sister was born. It was a turtleneck shirt with crayons on it and aquamarine corduroy pants. I was about two and a half years old at the time. I had to stand up on the chair to see her in the incubator behind the glass. This may be my earliest memory.

  9. She looked down at the small crying thing in her arms and her ears stopped working. She was crying. The baby was crying. Roy was crying. She couldn’t hear any of it. Just a sucking vacuum of silence.

  10. I haven’t spoken to her in years, and yet I regularly find myself thinking about her. Even still. There was something very off about the way she moved through the world. Her name, which her mother chose, was an odd one in terms of her mother’s South Korean upbringing, because she could never pronounce her “L”‘s properly, and her name was filled with those tiny little L-shaped dancers.

  14. The birth of the prince turned the entire kingdom upside down. Of course, this was before she made clear that she was a princess, not a prince, and the king doted on this little baby as if she were a beacon of light radiating from the heavens. As she grew older and became more feminine, it seemed that the king found her glow to be dimming. It was not easy living in that castle.

  16. my birth was in the earth
    with a shirt made of dirt
    and shorts made of quartz

    my sister is a twister
    my brother, the thunder
    as for me, I will one day become the sea
