mourning again

I keep being surprised

I realize this is because my expectation are what my parents  mom and dad  mommy and daddy

set me up to believe  to live  as if law

they did not know what was to come of this earth

of this home we live in

they could not see how these ideals were shattered  even as they tried to instill them as prophecy  as truth into their four children

babes at breast we drank what we needed

I fed it to my own children truths I felt were a given

shattered like a fine crystal goblet

how do we live  because I do still yet again keep on  living

how do we live  even as we continuously wake to the mourning
