poem for dad

up from the south at break of day
at midnight
what spiteful chance steals unawares
gone before us
behold me, in my chiffon, gauze and tinsel
here falls no light
you are beautiful and faded
they in the darkness gather and ask
i am fevered
like eagles on up high
while i stood listening, discreetly dumb
these be
she knows a cheap release
shades of night were falling fast
