Melodies XLIX; A Young Boy's Words To His Father, An Alien, 2
This cabin was her great grandfather's once.
He was a preacher. We have lots of kin---
some that still love us, and some stay away
(even as far back as the very day
I was conceived: that detailed memory
I still have and it often haunts my mind,
Daddy, since you transmitted it to me.)
Some who will not visit say that I was
"not born right," and that Mommy's mind has been
addled ever since that exciting night:
your ship, that vast design, arrayed in light
opened its door for her, and she stepped in---
while other folks spied on her fearfully,
and then began to shun her company.
