father called, 2008

father called
from the city
a breath, a voice
narrow hips, pale skin
memory moved to my fingertips

i am back at the beginning
a kick, a poke, the swell
of something growing

i hoarded what i could
his smile
his blood
his violence

these sonic details
envelop, hard, bright, blindly

i am crying at last
