Homeless

The bright sun threw its light

Too late.  Needing compassion,

Shaking beads instead.

Family created curtain of tears

Burn my eyes again.

Your crucifix darts of

God-fearing words

Caused pain; confirmed my belief

Water is thicker than blood.

I showed you a lust-crazed wolf,

My throat, his jaws.

Could you bear it?

You say so.

This is slow killing,

Hateful sororicide.

Is this your black and white?

I did not choose to be born

Because birth is soul deadly

And your claim is: I’m wrong.

Live my life

Self-righteous puppeteer of childhood years

Just for one day, dear.
