The Fear of Letting Go When There Is Nothing to Occupy the Space
Jen Siraganian
She says when a parent exploits a child,
everything is colored, even the positive aspects.
Yet to meld her parts,
I stop defending my mother
when my friends say she's crazy.
A kind of elimination by association,
I stop writing my sister.
I'm told that I need to "parent" myself,
as if that is as easy as buying milk,
as if I've rehearsed it all before.
