resentment, past and present
thirty-two years
he has been married to her
half a year after her only love – his words
longer united than – but
he has had it with her, he now concludes
nerved, edgy, even offensive
can’t and won’t stay with his son and his wife
few blocks down
the family he financed throughout their lives
wants to be on his own
with me, in the heat of my life struggle
after decades are gone
continents away
impossible
too much resentment
if for nothing else…
