To
Before you were I loved you
and when you were born
and when you took your first step
Although I did not know
good luck I want to whisper
lone penguin keep sturdily waddling
in the direction of those frozen
mountains sister
of desolate sanctity
I want to scream
Although I did not know
I loved you later on
as just a weedy thing
a little skeleton I loved
Both long pre-you a child myself
and as a man in retrospect
I loved and I was there
while they were raping you
I loved although
like God
that’s all I could do.
