Brother kicks at Orphan,

flinging her into the brush.

The not-gorilla child’s cry

cuts off.

She emerges sobbing,

hands shielding her face.

But she does not flee.

She huddles under a bush,

curling up as small as possible.

Again Brother charges her.

Snub tries to block him,

but he strikes Orphan with one fist

and then the other.

Each blow empties Orphan’s lungs

and creaks her ribs.

Brother’s next punch hits her hard

on the back of the neck.

Orphan coughs and goes flat on the earth.
