My wish

My silent hands do comfort me.

I was in time, before time,

to make it last forever.

I was not worse than he was.

I am not, even half as, worse.

Nine years, the favourite guest,

of the two boys.

We had some cocoa on the couch.

It became more silent in me

than silence could be, or is.

I knew then, I never had a family.

I would never, have a family.
