Brother Khoi stinks;
we can't ignore it.
He stews and sweats
in a jacket
he won't take off.
Forced to sponge-wipe
twice a day,
he wraps the jacket
around his waist.
...
_______________________________________________
Excerpt from Last Respects p.83
...
I don't know them,
so their pain seems unreal
next to Brother Khoi's,
whose eyes are as wild
as those of his broken chick.
I hold his hand:
Come with me.
He doesn't resist.
Alone at the back of the ship
I open Mother's white handkerchief.
Inside lies my mouse-bitten doll,
her arms wrapped around
the limp fuzzy body of his chick.
