thoughts of dad

thoughts of dad

it breaks

   the

hustle bustle of
day to day
activities;

   the

sudden stopping-

  ness.

wrenching grief
that one-tear

   shy

of cheek drop
moment when ,
out of the

   blue,

something in the news
or new, or
just because,
the thought

   comes

(pick up the phone)
to call; and then

  (bam)

it hits.

you can't

   answer.
