sitting at her feet

while she slept

he wrote her letters

                           letters telling stories of her mother just to refresh her memoryshed recall  of her aunt   maybe he hadnt say  no father is perfect  Im not he said  When I erred my mistake was made in love

                                                                                                     he told stories of her when she was a baby that shed have no memory of  though often she surprised him  stories when she was little  when she wasnt 

                   he wrote her that he didnt thinknever thought he could love sum one as much as he loved her  loved her sister  he shrugged writing that  the exclusive Love a father a mother has for their children  he heard about it growingup but relishing it was damn near spiritual

                                                   animmediately told her not to get hung up on his spirituality  it didnt run deep  she madeup for the pair of them

in between thoughtsbetween words hed look up at her  she slept peacefullyher expression untroubled  like when he watched her sleep as a baby watching her for hours at a time  mesmerised  possessed   so grateful for her presence

   her enduring presence

                                  outside the window a hawk cried
