The page sets family memory, trouble, blues, heaven, children, and warrors inside a compressed domestic register.
It reads like a family reckoning where identity is pulled between damage and belonging. The verified source spellings keep the page rough, with blues, heaven, a lawn rock, and children bound to the same troubled inheritance.
This untitled, compressed fragment runs on blues cadence and self-definition. It opens as an address to kin - 'Family think of me / Lauran know' - over a sense of dread: 'It is terrible / The end of things / Nothing but trouble / in his shoes.' The speaker asserts presence against erasure: 'I am / No ghoast / I am a part of the blues.' The middle dares the apocalyptic - 'Watch Heaven fall / For me I snap it in an instant / A rock along the lawn' - before the close binds opposites into one truth: 'These parts are important / For children and warrors / being the same.' The kept spellings 'Lauran,' 'ghoast,' and 'warrors' keep the page rough; the equation of children and warriors is its hinge.
