An inhospitable truth I have

Amy Michelle Mosier

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.
