My Shadow On Earth

what if i had

no family
no culture
no history?

what if i was no longer

husband
son
teacher

homeowner
taxpayer
citizen

artist
carpenter
healer

student
father
man?

what if my memories were erased?

if i could no longer remember
the stories beneath my scars

what if i could no longer
name the stars?

who would i be?

what if i was given a blank slate?

who would i be?

who is asking the question?

who am i?

am i

???
