When my father

There is no good way to hear of death,
unless it be of an enemy,
and then you want to be there

to make sure the bastard’s dead —
hopefully to see he’s suffered
the way he made you suffer.

This is what history had
taught me.

When my father came to
tell me of my mother’s death

he was already dead a long time,
as was she.
I have a picture of him

just before he tells me.
He pulls up,
gets out of his car,

and comes toward me.
I climb over the barrier
to greet him.

He looks somewhat distressed.
I hold him after he tells me,
doing my best to comfort him.

But it is my mother we’re mourning.
Now one side of her face won’t droop,
or her eyes search into space,

lonely and lost.
Afterward, I come back over barrier.

When my father

Here I stand
