‘Great Aunt Janet is coming over tomorrow’, Says my dad, Like a line from an Enid Blyton, -He’s trying to install a sense of family And foundation, in this still foreign lonely place. He’s interrupted my writing, But it was all self-involved drivel anyway, …Now that I look at it. He’s stressed, - he always needs to talk when he is. His forehead wrinkles And he is agitated. If he dosen’t talk, he will burst, -Explode into a thousand pieces, Of shrapnel, And my sister and I will have to pull those bits out of our new bleeding wounds And try to glue him back together again. So we talk, we contain, Communication can diffuse the rising outbreaks, To have someone on your side. I wander if his faith is failing, The big people are trying to trample on us, And for the first time, He confesses that they are going to win. They’ll take our house and tear it down, We are hurt, and almost defeated. |

If this is a story of your current situation, I suppose under these circumstances one must let him talk it out, put the event into perspective in his own way and time. A sensitive heartfelt write. |

Did you mean to say "Wonder" for wander? You can edit for corrections for 24 hours after a post. I like your writing. Look forward to reading more of your work Tracey. |

Thankyou both, I did mean 'wonder' but unfortunately it's too late to change it, -Thanks for pointing that out Tracey I wouldn't have noticed otherwise! |
