One day
\nWhen had been married 10 years and 2
\nHis children perched
\nWaiting porridge drops in their bowls.<\/p>\n
Steamed curled from his coffee, like the curl in het mother’s hair. And suddenly<\/p>\n
For the first time in a few seasons
\nHe reckoned with the body.<\/p>\n
This reckoning happened<\/p>\n
When he crossed a sandy step
\nWhen he saw a woman selling herself<\/p>\n
But most
\nWhen he saw his own daughter<\/p>\n
And wondered if his death and his wife would turn her to a body.<\/p>\n
Then he sipped his coffee.<\/p>\n
Years later he realized he had found a body
\nBut the woman needed help. He was too late to help the woman and she could not help herself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
