a sceptic

              couldnt help himself if he triedhad spent his life long as he could remember doubting   words

not that they liedrather chose   euphemisms

Hes a kid They thought

                       He doesnt need to know Did

they couldnt believe  believe   believe

                                             otherwise

     his sister said their father was in declinedeteriorating

                                                                              says someone who has been with him five years virtually day inanout

shes weary

their siblings who live nearby are not steppinup

he was fiftyyears twothousand miles remote

his siblings

                 he had no idea who they were

 

he tried to insert himself

                            into their livestelephone calls  wrote letters   sent postcards

    was like crying at the top of his lungs into the Grand Canyon

the first echo strong  each other paling   paling

                                                        to nothing

communication happens two ways

he quit

he had triedhe was comfortable letting go

                                               an operation he encouraged others to pursue

Let Go

Whas reality
