FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

all the family pictures
are portraits of selfishness
disguised as Us.

but here it is: a father
says, my Own child.
A mother says, My
husband, and a child
says, My Papa.

You see, everything
is all about "My".
It is ownership. It
is property. And when
everything is all
about property,
my property, it becomes
suspect, pointing towards
use, utility

and who would like to
give a Papa? or to share
a Mama or to
give away a "daughter"?

There is definitely no
giving here, and giving
is the only thing about
Love, and Love is
what selfishness is not.
