A Father Fallen

CATEGORY

life

Views: 190

A train rolls into a stoic station, grey mist lifts cold air

Your hand I remembered on mine

In our land of paw paw and mango

You shoot me with your service pistol

You cajoule me with your expression of disinterest

You like me when I smile to the crowds 

I recalled the dark look to your eye when simple request of an explanation for you never reaching on time?

Tickets are checked and im checked and you were vex

Mama vexes you brother vexes you

A simple room for a complex man, clouds through damp spots on ceilings, gas fire and bright rugs, wooden floors and plants

My journey is on the move away from you

Artist of life, artist of monetary and speaker of choice

I connect, I am woke and outspoken

You are distant even walking past and by when in company

Large hands searching for inspiration for your art

I'm vex now were I not inspiration? a heartbeat? a motivation?

You turned that day on the high road and I watched your back walk away from the street into the middle class houses where she would wait for you with coffee and sweets to boil

I'm invited to be polite

I feel I am a sore to your plaster disturbing your existence 

Then why am I here? 

Mist is all around my current destination

And even as woman I wipe teenage tears from my eye

Hoping this guy who I have searched through mountains, water and sky to find is free from abandoment of self 

Hold me, knead me, mould me and learn from me

Don't ask me to sip with you at high tea; or recitals and canapes, Banana Bread cut into squares

Atleast send a note with suggestions for dress?

Why my father in your eyes am I not blessed and your eternal blessed one?

In god I find rest
