ten miles into the woods where the retort
would not be heard
he jumped off a bridge
where none had stood
he was where he went when it all got to be too
much, his refuge, infirmary
and I guess he saw
it all as too much
finally
but, he left two little ones wondering
was it their fault
and questioning doubts
the rest of their lives
I used to respect him and thought
about him as a gentleman
and how he represented an
upstanding family man,
I guess I was mistaken
