father
through camera my dad looks young,
not nearly 70.
here, he is a boy
nervous to speak after missing
the promised time of dinner
blue jeans blue shirt blue baseball cap.
in partial time he is just a boy
eating sugar sandwiches and shooting pigeons.
until in real time
he reaches for the brown tissue in his pocket.
from this we’re 10 years later,
im 25, visiting where i left,
his 80 year old hands
stiff from pen
Read the rest of the poem Show less
pull a worn tissue out of his softened jeans.
he smooths it out
and pats his drippy nose through shaky hands
and i stand in the doorway.
watch it all like i've been there already.
in these scenes i let go of linear time.
