Poetry 365 | Day 130 | Tao of acousticsteveo (Cont’)
you were doing the dishes
the phone began to ring
it was daddy
i was excited
i missed him
i didn't know where he was
you began to cry
you were angry
sis began to cry
so did i
i didn't see him for a long time after that
at some point i didn't know if i ever would again
he explained some things years later
that i could only understand as a man
according to him
he was told not to return
he has never been one to lie to me
neither have you
i have never spoken to you of this
mainly because i don't want to stir the pot
but
if it comes up
i'm ready
