Packed up my suitcase
with the weight of emptiness
and left a note beside 
your whiskey glass
‘bout the things we would not give

Walked out the front door
that sheltered us inside
the climate of affection
and the frail things 
we kept alive

There is a sad reflection in many of your poems....I can only think that it is a way of healing. You express so beautifully....the heartache and the dark side of family. But each one moves me.
