Father: A poem by Andrew Miller
Written by ANDREW MILLER.
late morning
underneath a big green tree
there is you
and there is me
the things we haven’t done
fall between us
with the leaves
regrets
and dreams
soft now
between
our feet
they draw the sting
from the fact that I was born
and you must die
now. here. there is only you
and there is only me.
the economy
of our words
is the joy of us
as we sit
underneath
a big
green
tree DM
