A Strange Poem
your words
audible i am your father i am your father
almost a whisper a
guttural tone is it a promise or threat
what do the words
mean where did they come from who is speaking
my father is
dead died many years ago does it speak from the dead
the voice didn't
stutter the words were sure yet i know not the meaning
this has never
happened before i am your father i am your father
shouldn't the dead
stay dead not intrude on a sunny november morning
actually tomorrow is
the day before his birthday does he want me to remember
afraid i will
forget i tell the voice i will never forget
i keep him with me
always a strange thing to happen on the day before his birthday
i say to the voice
with love happy birthday you are my father
i am your
daughter and so it will always be
