Father Out
written by: Steve Green
Daddy dear
never here
road trip
mercenary
parenting
in absentia
just a voice
on the line
Novelty fades
over time
postcards
tossed aside
Saint Mom
preached
how much
he loved us
from the
hymn book of
economic necessity
We grew up
because we had to
Moved out
and started
our own
shattered families
Daddy’s
home now
Died alone
in his
hotel bed
the maid
found him dead
Gonna bury
our ghost Dad today
along with all
his lost
yesterdays
Former interactive human being. Now just watching the wheels go round and round while trying not to repeat my mistakes. I have all new ones.
