A SON'S LAMENT
When lilacs last
in the backyard bloomed,
and I lived with
my father, I
barely survived
mental breakdowns
that removed me
from physicality.
He never knew,
oh, he never knew
how close I came
to leaving life.
Then, not long later,
he was removed
and life has never
been all right.
What might have been? Oh, what might have been?
