Excerpt: a letter drafted by C and typed by me ~ back when he'd had enough 


(...for a little while, anyway...) 





























Wednesday’s Child



~~~

You said you’d like to bring our son for a visit this weekend

Then, ‘Surprise! we’re already here.”

Even, already where I was heading

Unsettling 

~~~

Bad behavior ensued 

Keeping your promise to stay in the car and say no words to me- 

The hate filled FBombs were lauded instead on my mom

Uncouth

~~~

A noose swings from our family branch

The cord between us frayed 

Will we drop or will we sway? 

The knot, either way

Unloosed
