“At this point, Mother closes her eyes, eyes that resemble no one else's, sunken and deep like Westerners' yet almond-shaped like ours. I always wish for her eyes, but Mother says no. Eyes like hers can't help by carry sadness; even as a child her parents were alarmed by the weight in her eyes.” — Thanhha Lai
At this point,
Mother closes her eyes,
eyes that resemble no one else's,
sunken and deep like Westerners'
yet almond-shaped like ours.
I always wish for her eyes,
but Mother says no.
Eyes like hers can't help
by carry sadness;
even as a child
her parents were alarmed
by the weight in her eyes.
