Dear Daughter II,


guilt is epoch. revenge is epic. where evidence is cruel. (our complaints stir screams as we explain or wrangle such thetic atmosphere. fibers are rough, fabric is itchy where daughters are unrealized.) the gong has rung, sirens are wailing, or a man is carrying a whale into a hospital. in dear truth, a man is gathering reasons, he is relying on his principles. I fathom our women, struggling for unity, or losing hope in egalitarianism. but I speak experience, those bodies we see, those torches fraught with water. (but you see magnolias or soft kittens or associations with chimpanzees.) I push forth sects, but never an absolute, while careful analyses might locate the poet. as we change by studies, those ferric remedies, where on a sad day, I wonder if I felt you: by heart or telepathy where many are listening for words. such discoloration in gardens, such scorched happenstances, while sulking is too heavy to manage. we learn by acceptance, or we huddle near abuse, where the culprit is continuing to live. but zeal or zest, such gazing guts, by acrimony or acrobatics—to exist while it hurts the story of souls while a whip has become alienation. (our decided stance in a harsh America where most things contradict our convictions.) a person strives for culture, another for strength, where most are trying but reserved. some are protesting. some are ambitious. while others are playing it by ear. but remain safe. many are doing their part. while prophecy says your life will see joys: pregnant verses, harmonizing colors, if but to forget slavery was only a hundred & fifty-five years ago. it seems appropriate in the web of confusion to assert kindness must be with intuition. (those plush ideals, if but to unhinge sorrow, while circumspection is a necessity; to maintain suspicion or to reason while jogging while presently at home most often.) indeed. such common sense. as it’s forever a reminder. where souls are equipped like jute. such jutted hostilities, such minor havens, while America is hell to some folks. it becomes its demarcation, its territories, its absurdities. but know value. respect boundaries. where caution is our negotiator!
