survival
I’ve been angry all these years
self-pitying
wounded
at the pain of survival
my faith is that the suffering
has something to teach me
but only my body knows
what that is
thus the answer
will not be a thought
and maybe
not even an answer
perhaps Avalokitesvara
The One Who Hears the Cries of the World
perhaps he
can help me learn
