Dad Did not Fix By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
He shoves what remains of their story
Into cardboard boxes
That are stacked
All
The
Way
To
The
Ceiling
He scratches out her belief in
" Till death do us part"
With a hasty scrawl across a government document
That she almost doesn't sign
He runs over her image of a
Hapily ever after
With the wheels of a borrowed van that leave tracks in the
Brown
Sugar
Snow
He leaves behind
Nothing
But the old plastic bin bearing the words
Dad
To
Fix
(Where the
Burnt out
Christmas lights
Lie in tangles)
And my mother's
Broken heart
