STOP
STOP THE CRYING+THE LYING+THE SIGHING+THE DYING
His son took his own life yesterday The last time I saw him was
20 yrs. ago Then I sat beside him at the funeral of a friend’s son
who took his own life Will the circle be unbroken? If aging is
enlightenment at gunpoint parenting unfolds before the firing squad
Unrelenting always fearing persevering un-enlightened Did you
know that blood is blue? Baby smeared drenched +tired paper-thin
skin oxygen ignited blue to red At once familiar +alien
Mcfate grabs a small hand +leads him down a garden path Past shipwrecked
daughters+marauders Path too narrow for you to follow wail on wail on sailor
