Son - - If You Could See Poem by Richard Provencher

Son - - If You Could See



me now. This wrinkled flesh,
all the mis-steps
in my slurring dialogue

and the shirt,
missed buttons setting me up
for a chuckle or two -

my gait unsteady as I
cross a sidewalk or three.

This memory in flashes,
on newsprint where phrases
blend between the ink

and I take the train
to where the sun
promises a-shine forever.
