DANDELION TEA
A flower taught me how to pray
But as I grew, that flower changed
She started flailing1 in the wind
Like golden petals2 scattering4
—“Petals”
She called herself Dandelion—the hearty5, bright-yellow wildflower with small tooth-shaped petals that gives the early signal that spring is near. After its flowering is finished,the petals dry and the head becomes a ball of lacy dust feathers carrying seeds. The legendgoes that if you close your eyes, make a wish, and blow the feathery pieces into the air,your wish will scatter3 into the world and come true. The English sometimes call them Irishdaisies. And the tea made from the root and leaves is widely believed to have healingbenefits. But these wildflowers can also be a menace, poisoning precious flowers andgrowing grass—weeds to be uprooted6 and discarded.
When I was a little girl, my older sister seemed to live on the wind. She was alwayssomewhere far away. Childhood memories of her exist in my mind as flashes of lightningand thunder. She was exciting but unpredictable — her torrential gusts7 always carriedinevitable destruction with them.
The distances between my mother, my father, their first daughter, and myself are farreaching. Unlike her, growing up, I never spent any significant time as part of a wholeinterracial family. Most of my experiences were with one parent at a time—me with mymother, or me with my father. I have no recollection of them as a happily married couple.
It is bizarre to me that they were even married, not just because of race, but how differentthey were as people. But before I was born, the Carey family consisted of a Black father, awhite mother, and a mixed boy and girl. The four of them would walk down the street, andpeople would know. This rebel Carey quartet experienced the spectacular ignorance andwrath of a society woefully unprepared to receive or accept them; Loving v. Virginia, theSupreme Court decision that struck down the law banning interracial marriage in theUnited States, wouldn’t happen until three years after my mother and father’s marriage.
