before and after

before my father died

he came to me

and changed my genes

so that he was even more in me

than I was born with


before my mother died

she came to me

and changed my DNA

so that I became more of her

than I was given by her at conception


It has taken fully eight years

for their parts of me

to begin to awaken in me

and I can't tell how long

it will take till these fully flourish

in my malleable mind
