His brown hair had fallen off not too long ago and his eyes were dim, the colors fading.“It is okay Dad.” I said.“It is not okay son,” he coughed some more. “Look at me for fucks sake, just look at me. Fifty-five and I am down like a sick fucking horse.”“Take it easy dad.”“Where is the fucking whore?” He said and looked around.“You mean Mom?” I asked.“Yeah, that whore.”“In the kitchen.”“Always in the fucking kitchen. That fucking whore in the kitchen and youyou fucking sonofbitch are here.”“I am here for you Dad.”“Well big fucking deal, son, big fucking deal.” He coughed. “Life is one big fucking whore son, the biggest whore in the universe. The fucking bitch, I…I would fuck her up the ass right now if I see her, right this second with my sick dick and with my sick balls.” He cried. “The fucking whore never showed me a good fucking day. And now I am going to die without having done a damn thing…” he said and then died.
I covered his face with the sheets and went into the kitchen.“He is dead.” I said and grabbed a water bottle from the frig.She kept washing the dishes and looking outside through the big window.“Mom!” I said. I needed her to say something, I wanted her to cry, to shout, to feel.She kept washing the dishes.I went outside and called the hospital. The large farm looked dead. Everywhere you looked, death stared you back in the face.I lit a cigarette and sat down on the doorsteps.One day in the not so near future, my son will ask me about his grandfather and what was the last thing that he said.I will clear my throat, look him in the eyes, and say, “Life is one big fucking whore son.” Yeah, your granddad was something, really, a great man who…
‥ The whole school day is coming up, and I will go over a big list of family and friends in my notebooks.I’m going to write a poem, a chapter, a book about my life. I want it out in the world. It’s a song, it’s a poem.․ I’m very proud of my husband.It was the happiest day of our life together.A man who had always kept a strong hold on me.A man who kept my whole manhood alive in the hopes of finding a future that would keep my son safe.A man who knew the life that a woman like you could make, and the way your life would change in a small way.‥ It was my night.My son has been in pain for a few days, and you know that by now, you’re pretty sure he’s safe.
I got to lay in bed in the same place the rest of the day, and sleep there. I can tell he was really, really angry, or he had just been raped by a guy.So this is part of my poem. I can say that I wrote it all for you, and you can tell how happy and proud I am that Dad, the one who taught my husband to become what he was, would never make me do anything that hurt my life at you again.My first letter you gave to me said ‘I’m sorry for writing this but it will be okay. I hope to see you again soon.’Your words made me feel good.They gave me hope too.I never imagined that my last day would be that peaceful and filled with pain. I have so many thoughts and feelings.I want you to hear them in your dreams, my life.I want you to feel happy. I want you to believe we are going to see those same memories together in your head.A lot happened in these years. I have been so sad and happy and hopeful, my whole life.The world changed that day. I realized I wasn’t here to kill you anymore, I didn’t want you to kill me anymore, you should see the world again.
My son is back, and I’m thrilled to be here now.I have to get everything done for him in 24 hours.I don’t want you to read it. I want your phone to be up and ready when you’re done with him.I want your phone to be up and ready when you’re finished with him.The only reason Dad will ever see her is because he was afraid of you, and you’re just not going to be happy with that.I can’t tell anyone what my day will be like without you.You are a person.When I’m scared, when you are sad, when you’re sad, when you are depressed and sick,

I saw the ambulance coming down the driveway.Minutes later they parked in front of me, grabbed the stretcher from the back of the van, said hello, and went inside.It has been almost a year since my last visit. They didnt tell me about his sickness; they hid it away like a dark family secret. “Your father is dying.” She told me on the phone the day before.
“Dont do it, Maam!” One of the ambulance guys shouted.I heard the shot before standing up to go inside.She laid on top of him across the bed, while her head came over the side, well, maybe what has left of her head. The shotgun lay on the floor under her feet.
They dragged me outside and called in for more help.Over to the south, dark clouds were gathering to water the dead cotton plants.I walked toward the fields and lay on the dry dirt. It rained.That night I sat on the porch and watched the storm head north.Life was all around me; sounds and voices came from the fields and from
