 Despair? Despair


Do we ever escape

Despair?  Despair 

Of parents,

How a father looked off

Seeing something that wasn’t there;

The look of a mother’s hurt, hateful stare?


For whom did our father pine?

Who wounded our mother for life?


Does one ever escape 

Despair?  Despair,

Silent car rides of cigarette smoke;

Soul-celled loneliness.
