shunned by a son who is fading out in my setting sun …
shutting another out (i’m stunned)
with little to no attempt to respect, communicate, express regret, or show gratitude
such a callous, cowardly, unadmirable, diseased trait (weeellll … probably laziness!! & lack of savvy!)
nevertheless change can happen
and would be immediately will be welcomed
and i for one, will always open the gate
i do not scarlet-letter, banish, or ban!
today is the first day of the rest of your life
you (and yours … and i and mine) can truly begin now to forgive … and repent
and become more decent
before my life, or your life, or other lives, are spent
yes son, i did GIVE you the best years of my life
as did your mom …
then you and yours TOOK os anos ainda melhores da minha vida
as y’all did also (me thinks) of your mom’s
as the sun sets
feelings of sadness and melancholy and emptiness
have changed … over these circa six plus years …
to a severe numbness and quasi -paralysis (yes! also a disease.)
………………………….
love, dad
(yes! love for all biota …
but also some sort of everlasting love for a sadly sick child
who’s considered his father toxically, hopelessly dead),
