Family' Love' Booster'
Family. Love. BOOSTER
Papa 85 and Mama 81 declining
as rapidly
as
Delta, Omicron variants
mutating
their closing voyage to SoCal
High-risk travelers
Traveling 7200 miles
Crossing the Pacific Ocean
Unpublished insight: this final crossing is more potent for the
distant daughter than for inactive
elders
The amiable daughter
presents her greatest gift -
a man of her choosing
This round, two decades later
Allowing, requesting parents and her man to personate unique affair
silent Charades, Google translate
ambiguous chat
Observing QQ’s first ever
– request
mother reluctantly voicing
her broken English
A few gentle interviews
This final dose of in-person opportunity, leading to assessment
re-exposure to FAMILY AND LOVE
This booster inspirits the tarnished antigen
An extra administration onto disturbing
family history
entombed history
A valiant daughter’s dying wish
Wishing unconditional love
equal treatment
final selfless protection
Protection from
kin taker
manipulator
victimizer
wilting seasons
unwritten wrinkles
my clarity of FAMILY AND LOVE even more
brutally defined
yet... elegantly
refined
Everyone’s deepest sorrow
Unspoken axiom
A Closure between a conscious daughter and in the waning days of papa and mama
