Serve The Servants
For My Grandfather
Maby in a dream : he's in your power You twist his arm but you're not sure it was he who stole your money you feel calmer and you decide to let him go free
or he's the one (as in a dream of mine) I must pull from the water but I never knew it or I wouldn't have done it until I saw the street theatre play so close up . I was moved to actions I'd never before taken
Maby for leaveing us too often or forever when we were little Maby for scareing us with unexpected rage or makeing us nervous because there seemed never to be any rage at all
For marrying or not marrying our mothers For divorcing or not divorceing our mothers and shall we forgive them for their excess or warmth or coldness
SHALL WE FORGIVE THEM
For pushing or leaning For shutting doors For speaking only thorugh layers of cloth or never speaking or never being silent
In our age or in theirs or in their deaths saying it or not saying it
- If we forgive our fathers ..... what is left
