I will not sense those rising sibling tensions
with me far from home routines/ My chronic
status has me this side of Falmer’s twists of
roads & visits – my connection as your father
will knot me up – our living distances will not
be fixed by [or fall to] any sterilized contacts/
Remove my anchor of liabilities & seek in me
my lineal way/ I am ever your living presence
still available as a parent – albeit one stuck by
old choices [forgive me for my disconnection]
