DAD ‘Dead Horse Bay’
It feels like years have passed since I’ve seen you
felt the warmth of your hand
smelt your tobacco laden threads
it’s hard to believe you’ve been dead
9 months
where have gone?
are you young again?
free to breathe on your own
a veteran of a useless body
having simply shifted frequency
can you still see me?
are you proud that I’ve continued to live
with your blood inside me
we’re bonded forever
in many ways we’re always together,
but it’s not the same
it will never be the same
I hear you in my silence
lost without your guidance
but I know you’re at peace
it was such a relief
you died at home in Mums arms
I understand it was too painful to stay
maybe I’ll see you again someday,
wandering the shores of dead horse bay
