Another Breath

There’s a great jazz song called “But Beautiful” that has the lyric “it’s a heartache either way, but beautiful,” and that kind of sums up my vision of this uncertain father. He’s on a train, by the way, which might be a rhythmic idea.

Another Breath

By John Rose
He carries a little person
he’s a mess
clothes dirty, five-day beard
but facing forward
is his daughter
seeing what he sees and she’s
a perfect jewel on his chest.

He wonders what he can offer
he feels numb
a scholar philosopher not a father
but when she cries
he smooths her eyebrow
casting a spell
with nothing but his thumb.

His heart will break
and so he takes
another breath
and feels her breathe along.

Three fingers grab his wrist
two make a gun
she aims at nothing special
till a perfect sleep
engulfs her tiny fears
the sorrow disappears
into the warmth of her cocoon.

His heart will break
and so he takes
another breath
and feels her breathe along.
