I am told this is a "Haibun" or "Quick Writing," as it is translated. It is a partial narrative, and partial poetic treatment of a very difficult journey I am even now completing. 

I am deeply indebted to AC Benus, without whose support, imagination and encouragement this would not have been posted.

I liked

"Sleep came
creeping on words
forgotten since college,
read to the room by the awkward
third son;"

I wanted to know about their relationship.  What was the connection between them like?  What did she think of him?  He of her?  How did things work out in the family?  How did she treat him growing up?  Did she understand him and his life as an adult?  Did he understand her?  

In my life I ask myself why my mother, who I dearly loved died at 44 when I was 23, married my father who was a pretty troubled man and a real player.  Why him?  How would she, I wonder, have dealt with my orientation, which has been rather mixed?

Anyhow that's what I wanted from the poem and the poet. 

 

Response from the author:

Thank you for taking time to read and consider this poem. Sometimes, the questions are what we need, more than the answers. Or maybe it’s that any answer we get is going to be incomplete. Again, my thanks.
