Most stories told negative
Save for your adventure
For freedom
All remembrance faded
The reconstituted to
Fit the image of an
Avuncular grandfather
With toffees and the shell of a husband
And father figure
Some recount for skin
Shudder and adjectives
Too impolite to shower on
The dead
Death is an equaliser
But does it settle
The debts of housing
costs, infidelity and
bad parenting?
No repercussions remain
Or do they?
Death is an equaliser
But does it wipe away
Selfishness and the run
Off of poor attempts at
Love and the effects
Played out in 13 years
Of silence.
I don’t and do feel sorry
For you and those left behind
That caused me to be left behind in turn.
