My father's face five days
dead
A
louder
,
braver
place
Its cold in
here
Everything he
hears
is
white
Rag and bone
man
Tin
roof
Last time I'm allowed to remember my
childhood
My
father would
/
could not show us how to die
He
lay
He hid
,
hid away
Without one word
or
call
or
name
My own old
dad
I'll lead you
kindly
Fire turns
blue
You
nod... I think?
Fixed eyes
begin to wink
You
used to
smile
and
stroke
my
head
Your
knobbled
stick (that was my
horse
)
You love a story
,
dad
?
I'll sit
and talk with you
You do not hear me
,
Dad
The sun was
white
/
gray
/
grayish
leaves
The
smile
on your
mouth
was the
deadest
thing
Alive enough to have the strength to
die
God curst
sun
Wrings with wrong
,
have shaped to me
A
fountain
at my
fond heart's door
/
Of
my
fond heart
,
hath made me poor
Fountain
/ flow
Comfortless
and
hidden
well
Of
murmuring
,
sparkling
living
love
In
silence
and
obscurity
A well of love
-
it may be deep
-
I trust it is
, - and
never dry
What
happy moments
did I count!
Blest was i then all bliss
above
!
There is a change
-
such change
Lying
apart now,
each
in a
separate bed
Strangely apart
,
yet strangely close together
They hardly ever touch
/
silence
/
eyes fixed
He with a
book
/ she like a
girl
Who are my
father
and
mother
, whose
fire
from which I
came
has
grown cold
