Somehow Come and Gone

For Writer's Cramp

Childhood outgrown
and
our own only child gone
and now it's just
an April Sunday come
and gone churchgoing
done the Lenten promise
in the past it didn't last
(my mom aghast) she's gone
or might as well be gone
my memory is strewn upon
the less-than-perfect path we're on
but guilt begone! Somehow
Easter's come and gone,
cause it was just
an April Sunday morn
our own only child gone
and
childhood outgrown.
