I was born to strangers
in this strangeness, random
nameless, at that moment
without a given language
or compelling destination
beyond the requirements
of a kindness
from someone other
other than myself
who had no reason
except the basics
of humanity to hold me
as the latest example of something
fragile and external. Breathing, blind
and vulnerable. I was made separate
and welcomed. Largely undetermined
Anonymous (to a purpose)
Faith came with me into being
