Unclaimed

Ten siblings

though an only child

Divorced fraternal

 bastardis wild

 

Ten reminders

of what I’m not

Isolated

 dropped not caught

 

Ten siblings

that share my name

Whose backs have turned

with eyes that blame

 

Regret incessant

to live outside

This name a prison

—wherein I hide

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)
