you’re a/the “same bain” (yes, i have a brain and do realize i share, genetically & environmentally, much of the blame)

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),
