The Boy Who Waited

by

He should not be here. He knows. The elders have said. His Uncle has said. Brother has said. And yet hope curls, determined and steadfast within his body. A fierce love. A desperation. A plea. He begins to appeal to the Universe. He begins to chant.
 

Mother, please open the door.

 
A fierce love.

 
Mother, please open the door.

 
A desperation.

 
Someone, please help me.

 
A cry for help.

 
Mother, please open the door.

 
And like a prayer, the boy sends his wish up to the stars.

 
Someone, please.

 
And like a dream, the Universe answers.

Or kneeling outside the house surrounded by flowers, Lan Zhan is visited by a man from the stars
