Son Dead to Mother.
Nov 10, 2024
Is this the 2nd?
Maybe the 3rd time
I am being evicted from my mother’s home.
The customary temporary exile
of a mother tired of her delinquent son.
Go!
Go out there and be a man!
Go be a dead man.
Go be a dead man to me elsewhere.
Seated at the back balcony of my mother’s retirement home
Hoping never to return.
