a kid
him and his big hands
with the hypertrophic scar behind his first knuckle
he never talks
(for fear of safety?) (for some black reason?)
and he never smiles so
i am wondering what he is doing here
learning about gilgamesh and enkidu
and how gilgamesh wept and rent his clothes.
maybe gilgamesh (even though he was made up
five thousand years ago)
hits just a little too close to home
