A shell I wish I had
All bone and teeth and forgiveness
A home to wrap me up
And keep the world at wall’s distance
A place I wish I had
To lick my wounds and silences
And run from the accusations
Hidden on the surface of my eyes
A laugh I wish I had
To be believed by everyone
To prop slip-sliding walls in place
Pulled out at the whim of a moment
A bed I wish I had
A place to outrun tiredness
That stalks these tiger striped halls
A beast amongst the antelopes
I remind me on each new today
Of the path of feet that led me here
Forever devoured by the underbrush
A rock I have
Cut from the forever of forgiveness
A home to catch me up
When my ground loses its way
A trust I have
Given to me more than I can ever return
The promise of every exhausted sigh
Reforged into new laughter
Fatherhood
