An Inhospitable Truth I Have
An inhospitable truth I have
To carry throughout my life
That must stay buried in my heart -
What a terrible truth!
It dances on my tongue
When I feel somebody knows.
On the scale of history - it nags;
On a bone - it gnaws.
It’s the shadow that follows
My genetic path incurably.
It will follow me into death
And be the Ghost beside me.
