your other half

if you listen often
you will hear it
a curtain pushed closed

it tells you
how you soiled yourself
in your own voice

you think it is yourself
saying a prayer
telling a bedtime story

you come to learn
it wants to be heard
to be believed

only a belief
thicker than blood
will pacify its dissent


-- Jennifer Crystal Fang-Chien
