MOVING NOWHERE, DAD
How many suspected when
I reached my hand out toward
the empty bench that I was
trying to touch yours the way
I used to on my daily walk?
My fellow walkers keep moving,
while I stay stuck in place,
circling our reservoir, time racing
the stopwatch, running through
my fingers, with only memory
locked in one mind's embrace.
