I Know I'm Alive

...Because your face looked much more tired than the

Monster

In my dream.

I know I'm alive

Because full recovery meant I saw you as

Human.

 

I know I'm alive

Because no matter how much you took:

When the smoke cleared, 

When I repaired myself,

What was left among the rubble shone 

So brightly in the sun. 

This poem is about: 
My family
