April 27

This 27th day of April, and the 27th birthday
you have missed. You would be 62.

Frozen in time, I see you as a Dad
The silly things you would say to the kids,
make them cheesy potato puffs.
Let them swing a hammer alongside you,
Sing them songs and change the words around.
Little kids, your boys.

How much we left behind when
we ran away from that house
where you spent your last night
of life when we were all
so young.
