My brother, sweet and new He knows nothing of this world yet So new to life, still breathing in these wafting breaths Water can we not live without, yet stumbling Needing the poison of a thousand years Death must come and nothing breaking My eyes! That green! What happened to Erika? I heard she’s met her mate And lived happily Ever after This dream is my Wake I’m just a part of this world. And I miss them so much. They had blond hair as children and I’m blind. The color of tree bark was mine. how hard it must be to be his Sister. And she scolded. I cried because of this tenderness that follows brotherhood. Will he ever know? His eyes are covered like the blindness I’ve received. I guess this impairment brings sympathy. In time, a baby from a child.
