Identify Me There is a tiny birthmark on my left foot about an inch above my little toe --- just a dark dot about the size of the head of a pin. I see it every day when I bathe and I wonder if anyone else has noticed it. In Haiti, a man on a big machine lifts the bloated bodies of earthquake victims into a trench for mass burial. Does the man wonder if one of these is his neighbor or perhaps even a relative? Is there a unique birthmark visible that could identify them? For these precious ones there will be no chance for identification. No burial with friends and family to share a memory, or pray a blessing or cry their grief into the funeral clothes of the loved one. These thoughts make me want to show my birthmark to everyone I know, just in case, you know, to identify me. Musings of a Bayou Mystic
