On mother

Hello

There are still things I avoid writing about

My neighbour going around all white, with hair like dried hay, like a ghost, for example.

Like an angry ghost

And that through my actions, she ended up in this state

She used to have purple cheeks and a purple nose resembling mine

But now she is a ghost with an axe and a chainsaw, making firewood, chopping up a tall straight pine tree which toppled during the storm around New Year’s Eve.

It’s like it’s my fault because she is unable to adapt, a mind that maybe was frigid to begin with but now it’s  too old

she can’t see my point of view, though I can see her

It used to be mine too

Because my mind isn’t like that, it’s soft and flexible like a rubber band; I can adjust

But it’s snapped

I can’t turn back now

And I’m better off now

But I feel terrible nonetheless

But I can’t turn back

I chose myself
