A brother told his brother
He was nothing

They were gods.

It was an act
It was the first offense

The elder brother banished him
And said, brother
If I am nothing
What does that make you?
And shut him away

His definition was sealed
His value nullified,
A crass and heinous thing to do for sure.

Now the two brothers
They talk to each other
In my body
A something
In between.
