Poems for Adoption, Search and Reunion Page One

For K.D.

A great black hole
A cavity
Where "my family"
Ought to be

An empty void
A silent space
Neither parent
Has a face

An unread book
High on a shelf
A mystery novel
About my Self

It seems we all
Have "hells on earth"
Mine's the mystery
Of my birth

I cannot ask
For peace of mind
I only want
To seek and Find.

- 1987
