unheralded from day one
from a place that sees no light
he wonders why there’s only one hand to hold
—the others have two…
this house is filled with struggle…
he was taught that leaving was a grave sin
to be left, the worst betrayal
that’s why he finds it hard to walk away now,
even from simple things…
