Little Brother Lesser Than<

unreasonably thin embryonic brother born again in a wash basin on the third floor of a st joseph's hospital. outside his window pale paper mache cranes float by in mudpuddles. he watches them a little, he gathers joy a little, he lifts his head a little. little so little brother lesser than grows beatifully bright eyed by the window. distracted momentarily his shadow half hanging off of him forgets to adorn its dark attire.

Lovely-to me it speaks of abortion or miscarriage and gives substance to the lost child
