Later, when being kin seemed impossibleAnd  probable, depending on who  was askedI believed it Despite the eventual proof offered with a cheek swab or mail-order saliva.  I live, love, thrive, fight, endure grieve, Grind my spirit into the earth and Heavens, and listen to  the messages in the wind  and hear from the song in my heart’s blood, of what is to comeBecause I still believe in kin.
