No Siblings
Itâs not that I was born
on a sinking ship.
My parents abandoned me
on deck as if I were a wolf
with an oar in her mouth.
I learned how to swim,
jumped in after them
dragging our vessel behind me.
I canât stop hoping for a crew.
I have only this cup
with a dead spider in it
and a song about
how many times my mother
sold the family pet. Rip it all
from memory and no one
will stop me because clarity
is a pearl lost somewhere
in the silky folds
of a very deep purse.
I found the horizon, the place
where the sun hits the water.
Who will I show it to?
