Entitlement

Entitlement

My mother’s feet

I remember my mother’s feet

eye level

the blood and spike

Sisters arms stretched

hands nailed through

And that abdomen gushing

definitely my brother

The head now dead

hung forward was father

The whip marks

the back and those thorns

weeping, blinding

All mine
