His Back
by Mary Beth Molinatti
His spine
is broken,
like that
of a book
The bottom half
of his back
looks similar
to that of a
dinosaur's-
it protrudes
slightly
He leans
to the right,
cannot sit up
straight
His broken back
is graced
by an Asian
tiger
And a symbol
of our love,
a Kanji
"Dream"
(I have one, too)
His back is beautiful to
me-
full of muscle,
full of pride.
