musing
on abandonment
on guilt
on hurt
on substitutes
on projections

my mother abandoned me by disappearing into cd
i could see her and touch her
but she was not there
i hated her for it
she was guilty of a crime
and i was guilty of a crime for hating her for it
i became the ultra-sensitive ultra-caring ultra-responsive opposite
in spite and in self-righteous example
till i tasted some of her experience and pain
when i melted in forgiveness
of her and of me
and of us
all

joshua's innocence and sweetness is in all of us
still and always
unassailable
