Walk of No Shame
Gone Without a Name
Exquisite was the night we tasted together
Claws raking through your back, you made me sing and purr
Lingering is for those who wish for things to lose
I prefer my freedom; it’s what I always choose
Pushing the door softly; we’re officially through
Surely you won’t allow my discourtesy to
Eclipse these memories. Sleep well, handsome. Adieu

Rain didn’t stop Mala. Swaddling for Edgar covered the baby boy’s body and she held her other son’s, Burton, six-year-old hand. The mud, muck, and mire didn’t hinder her from staying on course with her mission. From Pennsylvania, they all trekked to get closer and closer to land that was never promised but simply implied. Each step produced more mud caked around her sneakers. She didn’t care. Her rucksack provided them protein packs to put into plastic bottles and nuts and berries and dried meats to keep their muscles in good health. Water hydrated. She rested. The baby had been asleep the entire time that she had started her journey and her eldest son remained silent throughout the excursion as well.
