How is your Dad?

Author: Emerson Fremming

 

Voices would interrogate

       Then assign alienation leaving me,

        Hollow.

He is gone….

The Man.

The Teacher.

The leader.

What shreads were left were for your eyes

        Not Mine.

He is now a creature of basic needs

My dad died a long time ago,

         But as he clawed at the grave,

I slid into a deep

Dark

Blue

Cave

        You idiots, should have considered my side

Thought how was I?

That could have set the clocks forward.

I was nothing, trapped in an empty cage.

The middleman for today’s gossip.

Go ahead ask,

                  “How is your Dad?”
