choosing family

by Vivienne Grant

toss filial ties down the toilet,
set fire to strings that bind
shake off the shower of guilt,
like a Labrador after the rain

drown out repetitive whining,
hum mantras to fill up my ears
remember I chose this expression
I get to come do this again

particularly love the image of the dog shaking off the rain in comparison to guilt, if I could do that, life would be so much simpler:)
