hey dad

june 14, 1988 a close up. skipping out of work early on a Tuesday ‘cause the temperature’s finally below 107°. there’s a sunburn forming where the forehead conquers what used to be hair. trying to hide 28 years of freckles behind thick red frames and a thick red beard. there’s a mustard stain on the faded button-down, just above the n in Dan. smile with your teeth, Dan. wishing this moment could last forever. snagging this moment like a kite in a tree so it will last forever. love you, dad. -nic a poem i wrote for my dad several years ago inspired by the photo above. read more of my poetry here.
