don’t be afraid.
The end of the road is so far ahead
it is already behind us.
Don’t worry. Your father is only your father
until one of you forgets. Like how the spine
won’t remember its wings
no matter how many times our knees
kiss the pavement…
get up. The most beautiful part of your body
is where it’s headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent
with the world…
