A Little Dit And Dat

A Little Dit And Dat (Randyjw; April 29, 2022)

 

The last one.

Could have been you at an earlier age,

when you were young.

I don’t know what has compelled me

to even see that this trio

of windowed opportunity

had a brief beginning

a middle,

and an ending,

that’s the one.

But it does.

Confirmed in symbolism,

in non-sequiturs,

in sentences

strung together

with no apparent reason

other than

a soliloquy

of a random and ordered

linear progression;

of timing,

of sequence

All sorts of emotions

playing out

of me.

There he sat –

behind the glass..

the wisest and

kindest of looks;

sensing his presence

after so apparently

a long time;

so lost in thought,

was I…

He placed his hand on the glass;

he knows….

what?

I don’t know;

just a sense that he knows my whole soul.

Yep,

this kid could’a been you;

maybe it was – – –

Some time-travel

reincarnation

of star-smashed

destined souls.

The letter

the roar of a pair

of fighter jets

racing ahead

Such a grand thing

that we can fly

anywhere

and anytime

within our minds

and solely with man-made

human wings

Reminds me

of the time I visited my Dad

ah; at his so-called

final “resting” spot;

such a strange day for me;

like trickery;

the sprinkler seas

parted to let me through –

when I wanted –

my feet lead me

around the cemetery.

The plane passing overhead;

a symbolic departure

of Dad passing;

Yeah – I have a hard time

of letting go;

I said, “No!!!!”

And in an impossible

reversal,

the plane shot out

of the clouds

on the same trajectory

but now in the other direction.

He came back.

Maybe he stuck around,

but he was always free

to come and go.

Aaah, G-d,

how I love him so.
