buck
by Ross Leese
watching your family grow old
and grow frail and ever closer to death
while hobbling around on crutches
and losing weight around the face
and arms

and wondering where all that
parental strength and
presence
went

and then remembering that you
are not a child anymore and that your
father is no longer
a young
man

but simply one more person
who will not be
around
forever

or even
close
to
it.
