...To Papa Who Died In 1887 Poem by RIC BASTASA

...To Papa Who Died In 1887



papa i still
remember your anger
and what you
did with it

and here i am
angry too and imitating
you

and perhaps, yes perhaps,
i, now, understand you.

the horror in us
the harrowing pain,
a love so huge
and flaming
betrayed by wind and
fire
and to our feet this
ashes of disdain.
