my father,

your words reverberate
in my vertebrae.

thirty three words
shake me to my core:

my child,

i have to make it
elsewhere
before my times runs out
because
you have many years,
but i do not.

i don’t belong by your side
like i thought i did.


you didn't even sign with
"your father".

an eye for an eye
leaves the whole world
blind.
when i said, "an eye for an eye
leaves the whole world
blind." do you understand why i said that? or was that a little too random?
