Father's Day
He doesn't know it's Fathers Day
or that I am "the daughter".
There is a lacuna
in the place where I should be.
I pour Cointreau in our teacups
for courage and pull up
Charlie Haden's Song of the Whales
on my phone.
His shelves and tables
are littered with driftwood and shells
from shores he has known.
I hand him a rough, weathered totem
and ask, "Can you show me how the water moves?'.
Slowly, cautiously he moves the talisman:
Up, down, circles, spirals,
a figure eight for eternity
For this Sunday
driftwood and whale song
is the medicine we need.
