So much meaning contained within a very few words. It’s liberating to know that as we assign meaning, we also have the autonomy to remove meaning and thereby reject dichotomies which force us to reduce ourselves to one end of a binary. Excellent piece, as always.

Hi Everyone,
Another Monday and another poem. Yesterday was Fathers Day (here in the UK) and it is a day I have come to dread. My father passed away April last year aged just 51 due to Alcohol Related Complications. The best outlet I have found for my emotions is my poetry and so here is one of three poems I wrote last week for Fathers Day.
Happy Fathers Day : https://peskypoetry.co.uk/2019/06/16/happy-father-day/
Love to you all and especially to all those who have lost their fathers.
-The PeskyPoet®
