A father is a hero
much greater than the sum of all
contrived phrases
and father is greater than the
touching things
we make and let go of
making up air or moments
made up revelry
a father ain’t a tree
but a piece of rock
that it takes a preacher to pick up
and call it sacred
without the acts of procranation
by language
a father remains fragile
as he is inside himself,
inside his head
without the hips of a woman a father
remains nothing
or null
flames of acetone, moss on a mountain
we thus make heroism as it is needed
and speak mythically of his actions.
Every father is a hero
(in the context before Time is realized).
