Family Album

Gaps in the photo album
Missing pictures
Missing pieces

Familiar strangers
Too much to imagine
None of it good

Lives interrupted

Once present
Now absent

Once whole
Now broken

Whispered wondering
Secrets kept
Secrets revealed

A simple lie. A complicated truth.

An Open Letter to the Father I Never Knew

The Year I Almost Met My Brother

Familial deterioration
