Abstract

Abstract: “Moriviví”: The speaker considers his parents’ immigration from the Dominican Republic to the United States, and what his life could have been if he were not born in the U.S. He addresses this alternate version of himself as ghost, mirror, memory, and brother. “When He Leaves”: A reflection on the speaker’s damaging sexual experiences with men. He considers his own condition in the aftermath of two failed attempts at queer love: abandoned, exposed, and wanting. “Reunion”: A nocturne in which a drunken speaker reckons with mortality, the bittersweet nature of memory, and being away from home as the sun goes down and stars appear.
