Samidare Satou

where was the dad he
needed? the boy he
craved? the mother who would help
him get through the day

was no longer there
as he was thrust in
to adulthood, without a
second thought or just

a sign of regret.
who could he rely
on now? who would keep him with
them, endure life with

him by their side? who
would put themselves through
that? he couldn't understand,
but bara didn't

explain. they simply
remained together.
like a bird and its hatchling,
perhaps. who knew, though?
