Week 50

All The Sights To See

The subreddit theme was "travel". I think I have no comments on this one, aside from… I miss my dad.

ALL THE SIGHTS TO SEE

Woke up suspended between
The here and the there
Here felt so far away from where
There felt so close to my heart

As I embarked

I heard his voice all critical
But pretty much always right
Could it really be he’s on the line
Asking for my company

One of us must be dreaming

Oh how
Did he figure out
My precise coordination
He says
His best
As good as mine
Can we both be right sometimes?

(Suddenly I’m)
Driving through the canyons
Of my father’s furrowed brow
I could write a travel guide right now
Straight from my memory

All the sites to see

His hair like a thin white forest
From the vantage point there
On the bump on his nose
Halfway to his actuary eyes

That criticize
With love
With love
With love

I hope we get to visit again real soon
