Analysis of Still Unclaimed
Ten siblings
though an only child
Divorced fraternal
bastardis wild
Ten reminders
of what I’m not
Isolated
dropped not caught
Ten siblings
that share my name
Whose backs have turned
with eyes that blame
Regret incessant
to live outside
This name a prison
—wherein I hide
(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)
