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
???
