why should I care that you do not claim me
I threw away that tie long ago
never understood it from the beginning
this accidental kinship you pull like a chain
I never sought favor but sometimes found love
kindness wins me over at once
for you I’ve nothing but saddened compassion
a stranger so damaged you don’t wish any repair
a mirror into which I stare
are those my eyes that look so coldly back
