Do I Imagine Him There? by Emma Jones
|
|
It wasn't so long ago
that he held his breath -
let out a sigh
that was to be his last.
But, now I catch a glimpse of him -
walking by
and, hear our children say -
"Is that someone coming in?".
7 o'clock every evening -
a flicker of light
a shadow issues forth.
a glint passes by the window pane.
the key slips in the lock -
never to turn.
His usual return after a hard days work -
a hunch of the shoulder
a sluggish air
a weary tread.
do I imagine him there?
Years pass by -
snow falls
rain.
The sun shines through my window
I hear the gate
I look up acutely aware
but I never catch him there.
The key slips in the lock -
never to turn.
