Why?
Why would a mother choose this moment to share this news with her son?
A life and death matter
shared for the first time
after the consumption of much alcohol
Tears -
Screams -

and I shake and quiver in fear
It all rings way too close to home
Evoking memories that I long so deeply to forget
I want to wrap my arms around him
and protect him from the news

But there is nothing
nothing at all that can be done
Nothing changes
what is
