lamb’s ear
softening
the quarry
behind the fence
slipping out
of an old skin

he double checks
the coin return-
emptiness lingers
a lonely reminder
stretched on a railroad tie
-snake skin

wondering if this is what
my parents felt,
in their own time
seeing a better past slip
ever further behind
knotted
at the docks
my thoughts too…

how ironic
coming to love
this life and world
and at the same time
letting it all go…
“the way
time waits for no one…”

on the bench
a young couple carries on
as if I’m not there
bathing
in the puddle

the photo of my father
that I like best
is the one in the yard
the very year
I was born…
Father’s Day-
this long term wish
to know him better…
