i remember years ago
i confront on the lie
on the domestic front
woman tells son
ill get someone to bring gun over
i call operator
for protection
operator stays on line
fist is thrown
she flees
i say press no charges
because how could i do that to
a mother.
i read statement written
it was all wrong.
somehow
always.
i am not bitter,
just wanted to speak.
i forgive, for
she may need to live with us
her own property of course.
if i can forgive that,
what can we forgive as a species
of misunderstandings and mistakes.
in a world searching for truth.
like always,
