Actors daughter

Post by creativesoul » December 9th, 2017, 9:59 pm

She was a bit sketchy
Skinny and all nerves
She was tall with eyes that watched out
And touched someone

Intimacy was like a bank robber
Taking everything and leaving trembling souls
But she waited in her place of strength
Golden light in the circle
Don’t stare at her
Or lie
Her skin was thin
Reptile feet in the desert
Hearing every little sound

He was the consoling father
He was Frankenstein’s grandfather
He was a biker dude in the 70 s
He always went off on the props thing
He is my father
I ran towards him and away from him my whole life

His wives always seemed suspicious
Like I was going to steal the silverware
Was not my story
But I guess to a docile subservient woman
I am a total threat
The discussion of patricarchy will come up
I can be kind but not stupid

I wake up
These moments
That talk to me
Late at night
Days gone by
My cousin Richard
My aunt sara
Lisa and Greg
Trying to pry Lisa out of the hot tub at 4 in the morning
So whacked on cocaine and 151- rum and coke
I just couldn’t take it anymore
My crazy family
All of us stealing Valium from grandpa
And going to the dealer down the street
Before eating turkey
Dad passed out in the potatoes
The rest of us “ not hungry “
Holidays
Mmmm
So now that everyone is in some degree of recovery
It’s even more awkward
Because sometimes they get a bit over the top
Preaching and fanatic ideas about everything
Under the sun
I guess we are trying to make up for lost time as assholes

Sometimes there are super powers involved
With actors transformation in the living room
Although their need for constant validation
Is large and in charge
Love is part of the magic
Animated characters

It’s not unkind
Just very unusual
People don’t understand the sacrifice
In family for creative endeavors
Although it’s astonishing the emotional love
Coming through my sons film
Or my father or grandfather
I know the sound of quiet warrior
Although I have now and arrow
It does not mean I have to let it fly
Which boils down to what I wanted
Which I got what I needed
They love me
I love them
I miss them when they are not around
I wonder if they know

compelling string of real life ...the documentation of breathing....the mind in and out....memories ..no dull moments
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
