FATHER

My father says
“Sorry, my love”
in a four-cornered voice
hurled at me
like a brick.
My father’s pat is hard
as if his hand
were in a cast.
My father is like sugar
that has lost
its sweetness.

My father says
“Sorry, my love”

My father’s pat is hard
as if his hand
were in a cast.
My father is like sugar
that has lost
its sweetness.
