After a Skype Conversation

After a Skype Conversation

A Poem by Marcus Walker

Dad, the day I met you was not at Birth.
In that infant hour, holding your wedding
Ring, I never let go. Not for happy memories,
I simply was not there. The two year divorce,
The pricey pillow pile, your grace, and then nothing. A death,
Was all that was needed to meet
              
                                              me.
Every week we meet, its a routine.
I tell you my day, and you tell me 
Your life. Me, who through a Thin
Screen obliges all what is not scene.
Imagine all that meal green in flames...
It burns my nature. I flourish in it. Lo!
Ariel's off the leash with my habit!
My semesters harvest, and so it remains
After meeting you on the sandy sofa. I see
For the first time, that that life is not for me.
