lyrics

A MONTH OF SUNDAYS

I read my first self-help book
in the third grade.

A Month of Sundays

I found it in the school library,
hiding from the noise

the divorce was final
and the judge said
“the father will have custody
every other weekend.”

friday night with my father
was junk food before the pool floats
would be inflated- sleeping under a spare blanket,
in the same room as him.

the divorce was final
and the judge said
“the mother will have custody
on the remaining days,
on the remaining days….”

my mother was dad and mom
but my father wasn’t either one of those

when did my father’s mother
pass away?
I still do not know
was it some kind of family secret?

my grandmother
on my mother’s side
had a stroke on the Cross Road
heading to her church.

the divorce was final
and the judge said
“case dismissed.”
