Happy Father's Day You Scumbag (Collab. With Vision_of_insanity)
Today is the day, let us cheer
Our lives are so much better, that he's not here
Oh father, you never were dependent
Do not forsake us, you were always ascendant
It's been a year
We haven't shed a tear
No angels or demons to guide us
We are free, there's nothing more to discuss
We shut him out
Years of screaming inside the house
Our proclamation, loud and clear
Growing up, with formidable fears
Father please, stop pretending
Negativity was always trending
You were received
Cut and remedied
A...

Fathers’ Day
It’s been a year since you’ve been gone
and I don’t know what I should feel.
It’s possible I never will. You shone
a complicated light, and spun a wheel
of shifting coloured thoughts. When asked
if I miss you I had to think. I do,
of course, in certain ways. Though tasked
with memory, to mind is called the loo
in which you put your hands around
my throat, above a running bath
when I was fourteen years of age. The sound
of running water still a keystone on the path.
But then I think of running to your arms
when I was nine,...

Daddy
I suspect that's what you want from me
stillness and resigned wait for your gaze
or the sound of your sinister breathing
when you're watching football on Sunday
when you fill your mouth with dirty yellow
irremovable, irremediable, intravenous
when you slowly remove the bottle cap
when you unpack bags of savory snacks
methodically, morbidly, histologically
you prepare and serve some sweet life
and so we listen to everything you do calmly
and so you feed me from everything you do
and so I digest everything you bring home ...

Lilith
Lily tu e tu?
I am and I am not honey
do you require some vinegar mixed with the methadone
I am home
origins the white light with a virgin taint
my purity was pierced only in the physical since
I am the virgin Queen because my poetry halls were perfectly scribed
no one knows what I do voodoo
because I know Hoodoo better than you
I am new every morning great is His faithfulness
Fathers I love you

a Father
He was like an open canister filled with candy to a child
To an adult, he's like a mountain of ice.
The calm surface with intelligence and strength of a million souls within
He knows when to crumble,
but will always stand tall when you need him to.
He is a martyr,
a man who will stand in the path of a hurricane,
to hold it off,
to save the honor of his only born.
A craftsman who will die daily to make ends meet
and create a utopia and blind his offspring from the demons around…
He is perfect in more ways than one

The Sixth Son From The Only Son Of Six
I wonder if his life flashed
before his eyes before he died
My life crashed before my eyes then I sighed
In a mad dash to the ash
Running from the worst hurt
From the last bash smashing
Head on into the first crash Thrashing from the vastness of the amassed past
Outlasting the lashing out cashed out
From the casting out hashing it out as a castaway
Passed away giving in from the passing out
With no doubt about the what
I'm the who when there's nowhere left but right there
With the know how but not the why now
Is it...
before his eyes before he died
My life crashed before my eyes then I sighed
In a mad dash to the ash
Running from the worst hurt
From the last bash smashing
Head on into the first crash Thrashing from the vastness of the amassed past
Outlasting the lashing out cashed out
From the casting out hashing it out as a castaway
Passed away giving in from the passing out
With no doubt about the what
I'm the who when there's nowhere left but right there
With the know how but not the why now

Sire The Inspirer
He who sires or one who inspires a child
The leader of the pack while in the wild
Proud warrior, strong protector & a King
A good father embodies all of these things
He enters rings, prepared to handle his biz
With more power than Pryor in The Wiz
Loves his kids even when they are apart
They keep him thriving more than his heart
Hates having to depart from their presence
He'll take blows though and suffer in silence
Violence is not in his nature but you best beware
He'll push your muffin cap back blue if you take...

GreatCommunications&Confessions(of'dkzk), Volume ???.6 /
Sorry, no alcohol at all since last Sept 15, 2019.
And then, there's The Sobriety Marathon, 1987-2015.
In 2015 I decided to "treat myself" to trying all them craft beers that were not in existence when started 28 year sobriety "binge".
I was in another near year of sobriety when Leah died. I maintained sobriety for a month or two afterward, but then went back on my world beer tour.
Sept 15 was the stupidest day of my so-called Life. And it was triggered by an EXPLOSION of grief in the parking lot of the neighborhood grocery. I had picked up the mail before...

For the Men Who Raised Other Men’s Kids
This praise is for the men who helped or raised other men’s kids
They may not be your genes but it means something else for the good that you did
You have strength and durability
Because amid the turmoil when the shit hit the skids you kept a stiff upper lip and stayed
Father’s Day is way to say you too are honored for being brave in the crusade
You took on the responsibility
I can only imagine raising children at one point you may have been seen as a villain
When their lives were upside down or had a void and you came as in a fill-in
But you had...
