LJ Idol Season 11: Week 10 - Open Topic
sour cream
on peaches
with a view
of the Ozarks
a '97 Syracuse Basketball calendar
in '98
a Nintendo 64
from his second wife
a driving lesson at 13
that we would never speak of again
a title,
"Young Man"
a story-
always, a story
a plane ticket for Paris
on graduation day
a nod,
a wink
a smirk,
a chortle
an embrace,
a kiss
a handwritten letter,
cordial and crisp
a final conversation
with his blessing
in pale sunlight
and pleasant silence
I didn't know
I knew
a do not
resuscitate
a Shiva,
too soon, too far
sour cream
on peaches
is all
I have
to be
with you
Shalom,
Grandpa
Shalom
Shalom
I miss you
I love you
