The Lost Children # 9-12 Poem by GORDON GILHULY
The Lost Children # 9-12
9
fiercely defended
empty cots beside you - no
one can be trusted
10
she returns to bed
I avert my eyes - all the
privacy she has
11
a woman goes to
the washroom - at every step
humiliation
12
even as you sleep
we watch you - charity calls
for such sacrifices
