Abstract
A continuation of prose poetry for a larger prose poem in progress. These writings explore the roots and lasting effects of childhood trauma in an average middle class family of the 1980s, involving severe dysfunctional family dynamics. The parents and children struggle with mental illness, rage, depression and codependency.
