Janet Lorenzo Poet Prose

Baby Boy

Each drop tells a story
Of a struggle in life
The first one absorbed, lost in the whole
The remaining photographed
Documented
Accusations drowning the certainty
That the least deserving endure the greatest
Sorrow
Tearing at the corners of the eyes
That try to look away 
The heart wants to find a different truth
Acceptance is victorious
The page is turned
