it's 5 am on a tuesday
late november
& cold as
hell
another day
a few hours ago I was
informed by message that
my father was
dead
another so it goes.
we weren't close but my
older siblings are pretty upset
I somehow saw it
& felt it would be swift
another altar candle
the only grief I have is for
my family.
my sister and brother's guilt over not
doing more hit too close
another "same as it ever was"

I hope I can make it down there for the funeral.
if any of my beloveds here can assist, my cashapp is: @JLatham90 or message me for other options.
I hate asking but don't have many other means to get there so quickly.
