Other Son

[tmanzano]

Se has attempted
on several occasions
to reclaim him

Obscurity
Exemption
Proscription

To awake anew

but tonight, oh tonight
she will permit herself
to peel back her letters

of eloquent responsibility
cascading upon her
in calligraphic apology

Her fountain stained
manifesto summonsing
her presence for negation

Culpable

but after interment
she will capitulate
absolving herself

to a warm bath
filled with second
chances of me

Although I am sure it will be ripped apart by some, I appreciate the creation of "summonsing". I am a sucker for alliteration paired with allophonic variation.

I agree I will be torn down and reinvented here... but sometimes the tongue pulls the pen from me. It just feels better to give in. Thank you for your kind words.
