The parcel arrives containing
The Anxious Generation<\/em> by Jonathan Haidt
and a letter from a family member
asking whether or not you think
the divorce has anything to do with it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you want nothing more
than to send in return
a bloodied bandage
fragments of glass
your own heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the empty room
the open window<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third time the ambos came
they were brisk and kind
and utterly unable to staunch the bleeding
for all the minutes your son
lies sobbing and clenched
a tattered thing
inside his cupboard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armistice is the knifeblock on the kitchen bench
once more,
headache tablets in an unlocked
drawer,
a brief cessation in the drawing up<\/p>\n\n\n\n
