A Father Poem
Do stories ever befool children?
Blood was invading my head when you return from work your shirt was a fragile tobacco smell
Your return did not resemble coming home to the good news on the table you were savage
Had so many curse on your withered tongue to the death of a cypress you prickled yourself
That much cruelty was utter rowdiness I buried my lament inside to know your ache
