Birthmark
No couple ever chose me
Maybe because I was marked
Maybe because they thouthat
if someone marked something,
they would come to it one day
They told me that
my parents had left me
But I didn't believe
Why should you mark someone
and then abandon them?!
My parents must have always
been worried that
I would be lost,
That's why they marked me
When I grew up, I realized
It wasn't my parents who had marked me
This was God who had marked me
As if God knew I am going
to be lost in this world
God didn't find me when
I was in the orphanage
Will he find me now that
I'm in the nursing home?!

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
