Fully born the day we parted

Fully born the day we parted
In gushing tears laced w/fears of being discovered premature
Relief in material excuse, any excuse to explain the public lamentation
I didn’t cry for lack of money, but lack of you, this comfortable camaraderie
You know me long enough
I care not for the visible, only divine communion
I stood like a crying statue
In front of the elephant sculpture 3 member family
Mirroring the moments of our like companionship

Question if it’s really you or what you symbolize, our lack
You dropped out of heaven like a brother and loved my daughter
How could not my core come all undone as old walls started to crumble?
Such a waste finding pride all this time in being self-contained
In this loneliness, this wasteland where I mother
Where my body and heart is buried and laid
