The seam isn’t literal, but you can try anyway.
Try it, split her open. All she has is ghosts, one
ghost, a little girl drowning in a sheet. If you
separate her and the sheet, her head from her
legs, you’ll have to reckon with what you’ve made:
the center a question, a crescent moon, the moon
a mouth crooning a song without words. When
she wakes, her body recoils. The future is moving
swiftly through her as her body creates a past from
it. Daybreak, another seam, a seeping golden line
that separates what she was from what she will be.
Now pull. What is lost to time doesn’t become her.
Remove the girl from the ghost and put the doll back
together. What’s left?
