"What / memory do / you bequeath a daughter who will not remember you?"

Excerpt

Whiskers
 
"I hated facial hair...but it grew on me."
  
I wonder if his face would be smooth as the stones I
often pocketed to show him. Or if, even though I hated
it, he would run his rough cheek along mine, the facial
hair chafing. He possessed not a single crowning hair,
                                          but
maybe he would grow a thick, dark ducktail to atone. It
seems irreverent, however, to hang a hat on how I grew
up without a whiskered, grinning jaw of a father. An on-
us thrust upon a sad stranger, a man who never knew me.
