Five Answers to the Same Question
After Faisal Mohyuddin
1.
My son is ten today
He hasn’t heard from his first mom
It’s been years.
2.
He loves to explore underwater
Worlds under our world
Thousands of sunken slave ships.
3.
We tried for years to get pregnant
But stopped short at engineering
Waited for a woman to find us.
4.
He loves every sport with a ball
He has endless social energy
He didn’t get this from us.
5.
We are the lucky ones.
His first mom carried him
They both carry the loss.
