poem for dad

gloom
by the shore, by the sea
no prey am i of poor thoughts
like him whose spirit in the blaze of noon
the sky
simply speaking
there was a time in former years
it was the autumn of the year
i saw you hunched and shivering on the stones
those on the top say they know you, earth-they are liars
when freedom from her mountain height
behold me, in my chiffon, gauze and tinsel
