D.D.D.

Sabine Venaruzzo (France)

Dad Daddy Died

Time flies in these words

This is my new tempo

D.D.D.

As a never-ending echo

From so long ago

 

Since you’ve been gone

Dad Daddy Died

On the roads

Rolling under a truck

Often still feel it under my skin

 

Since you’ve been gone

Sad Sadly Silently

Standing on the side of the road

Between two passing hills

Dad Joy, Daddy Laugh, Died Crazy

Dad Love, Daddy Migratory, Died In a smile

 

Since you’ve been gone

Dad Daddy Died

Poetry took root in all my screams in and out

And now makes my bodyscape walk

Wireless on the roads

Whispering to the wind :

In the dead silence of a living mother

Single word is missing

“Mom”

Mom Mommy Disappeared

from my vocabulary as soon as i tried to live
