My Twin Brother David
I had a lump in my stomach it was just there
and being afraid of the knife I didn´t do anything
about it; but lately it had been growing and had
to be taken out. Inside the lump the surgeon found
an embryo, one of an old man with a paunch.
My twin brother who had followed me from childhood
to old age yet had not been giving life; an” it “to be put
in a jar, curiosity for medical students.
I took my brother home named him David put him in
a metal box, the one I had used when collecting rare coins,
coins I gave to a friend when he said they were worthless,
buried him under my
almond tree. I can see David´s grave
almond tree. I can see David´s grave
from the window and wave, it is nice to have friend,
the one I gave my coinage to has disappeared.
