“what I did not know
then that I do now, when one day I too turn, to women next to me
and say, 'look what he did, look what I am', and they nod, 'us too', and
offer their arms, a canopy of trees that say lean on me a while,
and next, another turning to girls younger, do you know that
you are alone, but also, I am here”
