Open

open up
peel back your ribs
expose what's inside
see the child
crying


feel
start with pity
or compassion, then
become responsible
if you can bear it


if he is like you
if (you think)
he is not like you
this is how
the journey begins


rescue
the crying child
in front of you
and then do
it again


and again
open hope's door
the only way I know
to aim
toward freedom
