A Refugee of Life

A Refugee of Life

I woke to a child
younger than the twins
my wife had with her lover
   below flight 119 is Austin
         my name betrayed twice
         in a man's voice I can't see
         and can trust to never crash.

         Maybe a bird will blow karma
         ironically through the engines
         into an east wing explosion
         of their mansion; my carcass
         beamed through the skylight
         above their master bedroom
         to ask or insist one life question:

How did their lawyer
get child support when
DNA tests don't lie?
