The Bodyguards in My House Who Hate the Sea
When asked why I hate the sea,
"Because she loved it."
People think that when someone you love dies, you learn to love the things they used to love.
You keep their photos,
treasure their belongings,
and retrace the paths you once walked together.
I was the opposite.
It was easier to survive by hating the things my mother loved, one by one.
The sea was the easiest of all.
Something that stretches out endlessly without ever giving anything back.
Something that washes in and disappears whenever it pleases.
Something that swallows a whole human being, yet sparkles the next day as if nothing happened.
On days that were especially hard to endure, I dreamed of sinking underwater.
When I opened my eyes, there was only the ceiling.
Right.
This isn't the sea.
Nor is it that woman's womb.
On days I wanted to cry, I thought of the sea.
On days I wanted to laugh, I chose not to.

I decided to plant the water dropwort roots she once chopped in a pot.
