Touch

your breath on my cheek,
as I hold you close to me,

it was the breeze, or
maybe the brush of your touch,
long lost, yet with me

father holds my hand
between life and death, an ache
forged in memory

    I was leaning

    January 26, 2023

    by the river
    he looks lost
    his face appears ancient

    embracing shade
    thinks he might see
    God
