his bone-crushing hugs
Which poetic technique does Shapiro use in this line?
the nervous blue flash in his eyes
Which poetic technique does Shapiro use in this line?
I buried my father in my heart.
Now he grows in me, my strange son,
my little root who won’t drink milk,
little pale foot sunk in unheard-of night,
little clock spring newly wet
in the fire, little grape, parent to the future
wine, a son the fruit of his own son,
little father I ransom with my life.

My father won’t talk about the numbers
3-7-8-2-5 between the wrist and elbow
blue as blood as his left forearm
