Supposing, not as soldier, you went to a war?
And got wounded -badly.
Then came home to display, pose and posture,
But wrote well about the trauma of things not being right,
Became a bully who ruined the lives of those close,
So that his son, who transgressively became a girl
Would write about him as a gin-soaked monster.
And then called him Ernestine.
A revenge, perhaps for the blame of his mother's death.
Or, the truth (?), which you can read
In that novel published long after his death,
Hearkening back to a golden time.
Perhaps these things work out like a long thread:
And eventually raising a gun would blow out his brains,
Taking his own life like father, brother and sister
In order to stop forever the working of his mind.
