And always there is
A picture of you and her
Coming home happy
From a vacation on the seas

You was like a sailor
With a tattoo of an anchor
On your arm
Your hair greased back
Face weathered by places and days I'd never seen

Sometimes I read
And reread
The birthday card you sent me
When I
Turned seven

And I know that sun will never shine
The way it did that day
When we threw paper airplanes at your head
And sat on your knees
Laughing
