A tattoo for Dad
In this life
That seems like a sea
Of tangled nets
Bereft of emotions
A silent tear
Falls
From the softness
Of her heart
Without unraveling
The knot-She
Strengthens
In the tenderness
Of revealing.
Simplicity of detail
Beneath the nape of her neck.
Memories anchored in ink,
On skin,
In love, in pride-for Dad
That seems like a sea
Of tangled nets
Bereft of emotions
A silent tear
Falls
From the softness
Of her heart
Without unraveling
The knot-She
Strengthens
In the tenderness
Of revealing.
Simplicity of detail
Beneath the nape of her neck.
Memories anchored in ink,
On skin,
In love, in pride-for Dad
