Never at the proper moment

Never at the proper moment

A Poem by Jon Roggie

From the start,
I will try to stick to honesty.

This is not the time.

I don't give a damn about who did the other wrong.
The chances have built up for over fifty years.

What I do care about is the moment.

It takes a death to bring it all to a head.
Worse,
  you both decided on our father's.

Plus,
you both managed to do it twice,
and it feels like even more.

You can't even agree on a simple saying of goodbye.

At a time,
one where we should be close,
all I see is the distance growing.

I cry with my father.
