TEXT I Snake, with My Name After Latt Loon Wai Oo’s “The One Left Behind in the Womb” By Nay ThitBefore I was born, my mother says, there was another boy. Mybrother. One day, half-asleep during lunch, he turned into asnake, just like that. Shed his human skin. They saidsomething in him snapped wild, and he slithered away. Never5 came back. That’s why I’m told to sit up straight when I eat,chew properly, and don’t play with my food. I never believedany of it. But one day, coming home from preschool, my fatherpulled a small photo from the old family album. Pointing: a tinysnake, grainy and dark in the black-and-white frame. That’s10 him, he said. Your brother. He would’ve been your age whenit happened. That’s why we had you. Started over. So luckyyou’re here, eating carefully, staying human. Mother lookedsad. She said he had my name. That it was passed down fromhim. In the photo, the snake isn’t clear—just a smudge of15 shadow, barely a shape. Small enough to believe it once wasa boy. A five-year-old like me, maybe. Sitting outside ourhouse. Among plastic toys, little cars, and a broken tricycle.The picture is still, but I could feel him moving. Pulling awayfrom his place in the frame, inching toward somewhere else.20 That must be how he left our lives. Quiet and slow, but alreadyon his way.Adapted from: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/1731701/snake-with-my-name Accessed on November, 17th, 2025 Consider the sentence that illustrates the same use of the -ing as in the sentence “inching toward somewhere else.” (line 19)
