MOUTH OF THE NILE
my parents are two rivers becoming one,
swift anger meeting rippling worry in a churning pool.
they direct their energies into my river that becomes stronger and more combatant each day.
they are at war
and i am their two sides combined. no wonder i constantly bleed from self-inflicted wounds.
