Where Is My Family

 

Design, where?

generations of lore passed down

never to reach me

tell me

as my last name is a mockery

 

   Mother, what were you like

do I have a twin

 

no familial tales to embrace

encourage the natural yearnings to belong

 

no way to answer the question of hope

formed on the lips of my mother

other than survive
