Flood

The dam we’ve been depending on

that’s been repaired time and again

mended with silver spools of delicate hope

BURSTS.

Mom is such a bitch

for not giving Dad

one more

final third chance.

“Your dad and I separating

has nothing to do with you,” she tells me,

which is such a dipshit thing to say.

If it has nothing to do with me,

why

is it swinging me around by the neck?
