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.
