Those who choose to forget the past are condemned to repeat it.
The girl he’d loved from the day she was born called him Seth.
Promises made on an altar of lies. A daughter shall fall for a son.
Sins of the father poisoning his blood. And hers.
The girl he’d love the rest of his life called him Kodiak.
But this wrongness lived inside him that nothing could take away.
Some sins can’t be washed clean with water and prayer.
But maybe being loved by her could?
