By now surely you are not in need of reply
to your hateful question and I would offer none
Nor will I revoke my protection from action
reckless, unwarranted, and inexcusable.
Nevertheless I will honor love held for you
since day of your birth when we ran around the room
Driving Daddy crazy and jumping up and down
for joy. And for any hope of joy I beg you
Take stock of your options true . Set all innocence
free and speak plain. Turn please from darkness in your midst
Or anything else not in alignment with what
frees your heart in time. Brother, you will be in mine.
One day perhaps we can talk again. Until then,
know that I’ll be true as I’ve always sought to do.
