Samsara

I remember you telling me
that you wished I was never
born and also the day I tried to
save a struggling black beetle
from the ***** filled toilet pan.

          You flushed it

I will never forget when my father
took me to a coursing meeting to
see greyhounds dismantling hares.

What was all of that about?

I'm a vegetarian now and a poet.

On mothers day I went to sing
a song at your graves like you
asked me to, before you died.

It was about re-incarnation, I am
a buddhist, I made a wish for you
both to come back as something.

     I bet you’ll never guess!
