Stillness
almost 9 months
something’s not right
~
the heartbeat
stopped —
the baby still needs
to be delivered
~
holding you
I’ve never felt
so helpless
~
we held him
we named him
~
he looked
so beautiful
so perfect
blood started
to seep out his nose
then all over
his face
~
my body froze
my heart screamed
~
ever since you died
I’ve wanted to believe
in a heaven
~
~
Privileged
I didn’t know
what I had
until I met others
without
~
~
Expecting
unknown territory
I feel awkward
~
a co-worker
once said …
one’s never ready
for marriage
being a dad
~
I didn’t know
what to say
how to act
~
I didn’t read
the manual
~
was it important ?
~
keep
believing
trusting

My Dad’s Eulogy
my dad’s hands
best symbolize
his essence
~
if you’d ever
shaken my dad’s hand
you’d know
what I mean
~
his big hands,
thick, strong fingers
tough, worn skin
working hands
~
he wore them with a gritty
honesty, grace and dignity
~
