Offering

To you deceased brothers an offering

I render to you my indifference

I have shed myself not even one tear

Nor dreamed of you or brought you to presence

I pray you shall sleep for ten thousand years

Your lives the epitome of waste and loss  

Insurrections to heart, mind and spirit

When you have awoke I will be no more

But dissolved into everything that is

I reiterate to you good riddance

[John the Baptist]

Somewhat bitter. Whether literal brothers or symbolic ones, the sense of repugnance here is thick. Hopefully, the speaker will some day learn to forgive.
