Berlin New Hampshire
She had grown up
in a tenement in Berlin
with the smell of sulfur from the mills
and urine soaked floors
when she was five
her mother shaved her head
so as to make her less appealing
to her father
whose affections for her older
sister were as constant
as trains
escaping to the city
it didn’t work of course
and when her mother
discovered the man
on top of her
she flew into a rage
and dragged her from the room
breaking her arm
as she threw her
down the stairs
to the street below
it’s ok she told me
I am an Inuit and we
are stronger than all that
look at my eyes

One problem, sir. Inuit is the plural representing the whole people. "Inuk" would be proper in this instance without the indefinite article rendered as; "I am Inuk and I..."
Just a minor detail. Good work.
