Episode 44 – Amends

In different beds,
we dream
the same dream.

Between us,
so dark,
so hidden,
lie lost children’s lives,
mother’s nightmares.

The enemy is
on my doorstep.
I can never be redeemed.

I undress you
for the last time,
for the first time.
Flesh fulfills our destiny.

Then from my arms,
she is stripped,
the beautiful girl,

and I am alone.
