(my Father) I Hear You Knocking Poem by Janice Windle

(my Father) I Hear You Knocking

Rating: 5.0


“I hear you knocking, ”
Dave Edmonds sings,
“but you can’t come in! ”
and my father

unexpectedly

rises to his feet,
grabs his walking frame
and with a joyful grin
begins an imperceptible
rhythmic twitch,
an infinitesimal hitch
of shoulders, that
we might have missed
but this New Year’s Eve...

“You dancing, Dad? ” I call...
“You asking? ” his reply’s retrieved
from out the distant past.
