conception

They injected you with voodoo
a scramble of eggs at age 52
the best parts of both of you

like a pair of siamese cats
programmed to purr in five languages
programmed to grow up and move very far away.

Time Heals All Things

I forgive you. 

I love you.

With a love that would burn you alive.

If you ever felt a spark of it. 

If you ever let yourself

Forgive me for not being what you wanted.

Forgive me 

You stubborn old man. 

Don't take this to your grave.

What  happened to us? 

Why couldn't you love me

I tried so hard
