Because no sweet sister was there to tell him not to run wild and reckless through a careless, crack-filled world…

Because no wise mentor was there to tell him not to run to the road below the apartment…

Because no stern father was there to tell him not to let the resplendent charmer touch those secret places with cool, searching fingers…

Because no protective brother was there to tell him not to spread his slender legs, cheeks pink with embarrassment, when the man commanded in silky tones…

Because no kind mother was there to bewail his absence, when he never set foot upon the road below the apartment again…..


"Because when I ran you did not pursue me; because when I hid you did not look for me; because when I fell you did not catch me."
