Siblings

Siblings

Here we are
On the way to the shelter
My siblings and I
Different fathers
But that same mama
We are on the train
With bags in hand
Guarding our hand-me-downs
Given to us by mama’s bosses
You know, clothes to good
To turn into cleaning rags
We quietly eye each other
With extreme caution
We will only give enough
To receive at some later date
Such is life with a family

That lives hand to mouth
