Juno

I am my mother’s cheers

I embody my father’s fears

I go further and further past

the painful sears

that ended mom and dad-

that end to their careers…

I am guardian

of my mother’s ghost

I am protector

of my father’s post

I am gatekeeper

to that lone fated coast…

I am master

of my mother

of my father,

their fates

The master

of all fates-

yet master

of none…

I’m their warrior

their savior

their angel-

I am Juno

I am

and I am

their soul

their love-

reborn

Freedom

I'm told

that I'm sold

on me

being free

I'm told

that I'm bold

loose and free

will never be

Where did everything go?

Where did everything go?

I don’t know

I don’t know

I'm told

that I'm old

that I'm cold

just spoiled gold

I’m told

I can't see

I’m told

I can’t be

Where did everybody go?

Where did everybody go?

I don’t know

I don’t know

But do you know?

I'll never fold

Your mold

will never hold

Because you trolled

me

because you trolled

me

I'll never fold

Free of your control

I’ve been paroled

healing my soul

Where did all of it go?

Maybe I know, now

Maybe I know, now

Oooh I’m told

that I’m sold

on me

my destiny

and being 

free

PFAS Asbestos

No wonder Mom cried and drank

No wonder she got cancer

No wonder Dad got a heart attack

No wonder they died.

…

So, why am I still alive?

Is it just to survive?

Or, may I thrive?

Maybe I'll dream

about their ashes…

and take that final dive.
