had a little bit of some thing on my mind when I posted this poem three years on Facebook that I was too scared to state in that post.
I had no idea what was going to happen but I certainly wasn’t going to go gentle…2/

Strange thing is sometimes after a storm you lay there washed up on the shore feeling like you can never get up again, and I feel that… I have felt it for a while, but the fire is still burning inside.
And I don’t go gentle.

My father died August 15. I go through time in Circular spirals close now to that day again as I was when it happened.
My Culver part of my family Is circling back as well whether they have it on their mind or not, it’s just how it works ,

Maybe some are mourning, maybe remembering together his “greatness”. Many are Christian missionaries and pastors so maybe they are praying, or at least telling each other they are praying, could be for my lost soul or vengeance against me soiling a man of Gods reputation

Maybe some are alone or hurting in their strange grief. maybe some of them feel remorse but won’t admit it. Maybe some don’t really care because they never did they just played their part and the roles set out for them. One thing is for sure, We are not together. I am alone.

I did not go gentle. That means I go alone.
I was already alone before that…but it’s different when you can’t pretend anymore.
I think that’s the first time I said that word like that, murderer. We say things like abused but not rape, dead, but not murdered

I wasn’t even planning on saying that today, it just happened when I unfroze…I was going to say today I read “rage” and even though I’m feeling a bit washed up on the shore, that poem burns inside me still.
But, I guess I just couldn’t go gentle.
