Can I
Swallow the past?
We laughed
As brothers who disagree,
But long to see
The same Father.
Can I bother
Myself to change
Or somehow rearrange
These well-detailed
Biases I’ve hailed
As defenses-
The body come to its senses.
Can I drop my hesitancy
To embrace residency
Under an enemy
Who is now my friend?
Is this an end
Or another beginning,
and Can I?
Can I?
