How can I make that call, when I can feel the silence that will greet me?
How can I reconcile,
This painful din,
With that numbing silence?
No one to wish,
No one to call dad,
No one to replace.
Carried forward,
And how long,
In what form?
Where are you now?
Why is this distance,
So, so hard?
I am lucky I had you for so long,
But never enough,
And the years ahead cloaked in loss.
Today if I called,
What would reply?
A vacant room,
A silent watch,
An old T-shirt.
Only the space in my life would echo.

And the years ahead cloaked in loss.
